Day 5?

Oops, life got in the way of art again. Today was one of the first nice warm days. Everything is still gray and dead-looking. When I finally sat down to paint it was raining, so I worked from a photograph taken last fall. Leaf shapes are so interesting to me.

This Tuesday is the District Art Show for the school district where I teach. After that I am hoping things will settle down.

Day 4

3 days off. But when you fall off the horse you have to get back on, don't you.
Pulling out the paints at the kitchen table at the end of the day seems to be the winning strategy. It is a pleasant way to wind down. I started making a generic landscape. While I waited for the sky to dry, I started painting some random shapes on another paper and this is how it turned out. I seem to put the main thing right smack dab in the middle lately. I wonder what that is about. Maybe the other landscape will be tomorrow's painting to finish.
