It's been brutally cold, and will likely get even colder in the overnight--but, I am prepared! I have been hauling my wet paintings, and palettes into my office in the main part of the house, so that the paint doesn't get "funny" with the frosty temps. This is not really a bother when I see the flipside of the coin--thick, clotty paint, and frustration. No thanks!
I am about half way through my new painting, and it's moving along at a really good pace. I also have two smaller paintings going, but these are really just "exercise." I like to paint little still life paintings, quick studies, just because. They are cathartic little brain candies...kind of like knitting!
I wasn't able to get into the City today, as planned, so tomorrow is the goal. The curator for the gallery I was going to meet wasn't able to make it today--she's a sweetie, and I know she is very busy, always on the go putting stuff together, so this didn't ruffle my feathers at all. Tomorrow works better anyway...
All in all, it was a good, productive day--the karma was good, the brain juices flowing...hoping to keep the groove going over the next several days and get all the work done~
So, that's that for now, and off to enjoy the chilly evening with some dinner, and a good, old flick!
