Fix this mess day

In The Moment

oil portrait painting

One of my recent favorite oil paintings sold over the weekend. I’m a bit sad to see her go off to a new home, but I got a high quality scan before packaging it up. Prints are available here. 

crazy garden weeds in December

It’s a gorgeous sunny day here. I have a fan in the window airing out the place. I try to do this every day, if only for a few minutes. It helps to get rid of the cooking smells, especially since the only setting I know how to use on the stove is high. Food doesn’t cook fast enough, otherwise. <–that’s my brilliant theory, and I’m sticking with it. lol The smoke alarm goes off every time I cook – no exaggeration. Today is so nice (61F), the fan’s been whirling for over an hour. The cats love it, and fight over who gets the seat by the window. I’ve been wandering around outside. Can’t wait to start gardening again. Looks like I need to weed first. 

I’m not sure how this mess happened when I haven’t painted in a month, but this is what I see every time I walk through my studio. It’s driving me NuTz, so today will be a “fix this mess” day.

What happens once this is all picked up, who knows? Maybe I’ll have space to open my art journal, and actually create art for a change or maybe I’ll be too tired to consider it. lol I’m quite happy being on a painting hiatus, so we’ll see. 

Edited: It actually looked worse than it was..mostly a lot of paper towels, and empty paint pots. It took less than 5 mins to clean up.
