thoughts of a shy painter
![]() This little painting made me happy. Yesterday. Today I decided that it was not what I wanted, so I wiped it out. I used to feel that painting over or wiping out a painting was admiting defeat. Now it feels empowering. I will NOT burden myself with art I don't like. So there.

It's cloudy and gray again. I find it hard to get going on a gray Saturday. So I was still in my pajamas until around 10:00 am. But my procrastination did not include painting. I was in my studio, touching up a plein air painting from yesterday when I realized that it said something odd about me that I was painting in my pajamas.
I am initiating this blog because I want somewhere to post my thoughts and art activities. Somewhere that will be out of the way of everyone except those few who want to know what I am thinking and doing. So, welcome here. |
