Morning, my friends. Happy Tuesday. I have a delicious coffee beside me. The sun is shining outside. Mom already had a load of wash going when I came out of the bedroom. Hopefully the rain holds off until the afternoon.
Yesterday followed the same pattern most of my days go: an artsy morning through lunch, followed by an afternoon of outdoor painting. There might be a couple of hours of the Switch, maybe some poi; yesterday it was more of me running around a map “collecting question marks”, as I think of it.
The paintings are coming along. I find things turn out so much better if I break everything down into pieces. It’s not to the extent of a paint-by-numbers kit, not quite that bad. Instead, I focus on smaller parts instead of trying to do everything at once. I see three stages of painting:
- WTF is this?
- A point where you can get the gist of what I’m aiming for, but it all looks half-finished in an ok sort of way, like an Olivia De Berardinis pinup
- Oh, so it’s another house
Aside from that stuff, nothing new here. Mom is flying north on Thursday. We’ll probably go to the store today or tomorrow for some last minute stuff.
