Aah! Today was definitely a "next" day. Those of you who have studied with me know what I mean. Those of you who haven't will understand when I tell you---sometimes, when you paint, you have to just wrap it up and say "next"! Detach from the outcome. I always assume I will have a great painting day, and for most part I do. Today was one of those days that wasn't. I used a different camera on this shot, late in the day, so I will probably re shoot it again tomorrow to capture it better. I have been juggling with getting everything moved onto my new computer (you forget just how much you have stored on one--including your stuff for your camera--til you switch horses!) I keep thinking I am almost finished when something else rears its ugly little head.......kind of like when you're moving and you think you are almost getting there...and then 3 long days later...you realize now you're almost getting there...and 14 hours later......you get the picture. I am thrilled to be working on my new computer because it is so much faster, but I do better when I am immersed in my painting head....or at least that is what I am telling myself today!
