More Painting Mineral King

Much of the spring and summer so far has been spent working on coloring books (or in Israel) instead of painting. Suddenly, painting Mineral King in oils has become my main focus.

It takes some teeth-gritting intensity and, word-of-the-year, oh-so-tired-of-it, intentionality to stay focused. There is a book to reproof, a coloring book to finish, and never mind about doing laundry by hand because the washer quit (not complaining – it is 28 years old), waiting for the phone repairman (studio phone is broken – has anyone been trying to call??), a coloring book to begin, and a website to keep current during all these sales. Oh, and an art show to prepare for!

But I am not stressed (she says with a twitch). I am painting, and paintings don’t look good if done under undue stress.

Yes, 2 of these are almost the same. I had a planning mishap. Not worried.

The one on the upper left is almost finished. The others are only just begun. They are 8×8″ and 8×10″ and will take longer than the 6×6″.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Just a little reminder to myself that I was in Israel. I’d show you a photo of me on a camel, but I looked fat.

THAT stresses me out!!

  1. … take a deep breath –

    • Diane, no time to breathe, but thank you for the good sentiment!! And then I have 4 different friends wanting to get together to hear about Israel, all from different places and parts of my life, and all I can think is, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? WHO HAS TIME FOR LUNCH??” Not that it wouldn’t be great – it would be wonderful to spend time catching up.
