This is the beginning of something. If I paint some orange on the trunk, it should start to look brownish, like a tree trunk. I just am not sure if that is what the painting needs. Light and shadow are always tricky for me. It would be easier if I was outside looking at the tree on a sunny day. But alas, I have squandered my time once again on work, food, and dishes. And then I took a nap. I am thinking of my life as a work of art (like Julie Cameron says in her book, The Artist's Way). As I take a step back to get a good look at it, I see what it needs. It needs more naps. But not too many. Just a few here, a few there. Also I need to add something new and different once in a while. Today it was a long bike ride to get home from work, with a couple stops on the way. I took the most scenic route with the least traffic, even though it was much longer. One stop was to buy a smoothie. Pineapple Mango. They messed up and made a large when I ordered a small. That was OK with me.
