It was a slow, well actually no work day (real work — the kind that actually brings in income), so I had more time to paint. Cotton balls. Do you believe I'm painting cotton balls? Actually I was excited by the idea. The first attempt was pretty good, but I decided to try it again and see if I could define the shape with fewer strokes. It was a good exercise to try two different approaches, but I think I'll go buy some fruit or maybe beads. I need color!
Another thing — it was a beautiful warm day and as the afternoon warmed, my paints began to get sticky and dry. I'm using water soluble oils and that's part of the price I pay. The weather is getting hotter this week. Maybe I'll try using some stand oil in the paint or use a spray bottle to keep the paint wet. What a drag this may turn out to be.
