I didn't have much time to paint today since I went to a funeral that was relatively far away where I used to live. I figured that I would post one of the underpaintings that I did during the summer (it feels weird to say that since it was just last week).........I had this idea that if I could store up enough canvases for the winter it would be just like painting outside. The only problem was that I tended to finish things on site so I don't have all that many stored up but this is one of them. The picture is mostly washes of thin color so I could revise it without much effort - it is 12" square. The funeral was beautiful (I don't usually think that) and I saw tons of people I have not seen for at least ten years...........we have all aged and that was weird but it was good to see them nonetheless. I came home and finished moving my huge collection of plants inside for the winter: including the night-blooming sirius which still has not bloomed. After that I set up to paint on something I started yesterday but I am fading fast and think I am getting a cold (damn). Until tomorrow.Wednesday, 14 October 2009

This is a good start - but really don't do too much to it! I hope you don't get the 'cold' - am fighting one, too.
Thanks Kelley.........I did not get it too, too bad. Good lick with yours as well, not that any of us are tempted to paint outside this weekend!
