We have been blessed with weather that is optimal for being outside.  I spent the last couple hours on the deck reworking some old paintings that were not finished.  Each one had areas I thought were successful, but each one also had areas that bugged me and I was not sure how to resolve them.  I was a bit reluctant to touch brush to painting at first, but then I realized I really had nothing to loose.  Mostly I was just reacting to what was there, balancing colors and values.  It was a peaceful experience.
