I love, love, love the fog. It creeps in every evening and blankets the mountains in coolness but hangs low enough to let the stars have their moment. And it has given me a great photograph (aka: procrastination tool) to share while I deal with a bit of a block on how to proceed with the top portion of my "big" painting. I always seem to have an issue with finishing a piece once I divide it (remember this?). I have an idea of where I want it to go but am not ready to commit yet. You know I think I'm also still adjusting to my new space and am trying to get comfortable there. In addition, I had lots of life's messiness to deal with last week which led to 3 or 4 non-painting days (which makes me very cranky). That said, today was lovely and cool and I got in enough studio time to work up two new pieces to share tomorrow. Sweet dreams.

and then my friend Lynn asks me: What do you want it to say? What is the main story?
I deal with problems with space in paintings all the time. My tendency is to cram the entire contents of the universe into one painting. I never see you do this, in fact I think you are quite good at the divided spaces.
It gets harder when it gets bigger though... why?
I love a bit of moody weather and that photo is perfect.
I am sure it will take you a while to settle into your new surroundings. I know that crankyness after too long without painting, I know it well.
hope you have a good sleep.
belinda-the fog is big and dramtic but in a quiet creep up on kind of way...love your new pieces!
annri- it's just like the cozy grey wool blanket i keep on the couch (no worries everything is working itself out).
janice- thank you...that is grand advice i shall put to good use tomorrow....big is more troublesome isn't it?
