Portrait paintings I worked on last week.
Most are acrylic, but some were done in OILS!!
Gasp!! I knoooow, right? 😉
Some are brand new, and others were being revised.
More on that later! 

My studio hours are changing!! My new summer hours started a couple weeks ago. I usually stay up until the wee hours of the morning in the summertime. I like to skip the bright hot sun, the loud kids screaming at the city pool down the street, and the heat, as much as possible. I really enjoy the darkness, the quiet of the nighttime. In the winter, I’m the complete opposite. I get up very early, sometimes as early as 3 or 4 am, and I’m up for the day. I don’t know why I do this, but my body does it naturally. I used to fight it, but I’ve learned to listen to what my body is telling me, and go with the flow.

I was thrilled to find out last week that my husband’s office hours are changing on the 15th, from daytime to afternoons/nights, again!! Yay!! Now I won’t worry so much about waking him up when I get ready for bed at 4am. Of course, when winter rolls around, he’ll probably have to worry about waking me. Winter seems forever away at this point, tho.

So, look for more of my posts at night now. I like to sit down and write all my blogs for the week in one or two sessions, and then schedule them throughout the week. However, some I write in the moment, such as now, and I’m about to hit Publish at 11pm. 🙂
