Unfinished section of WIP
As some of my fellow bloggers may have noticed, blogging creates a certain sense of obligation to post regularly. This is especially true when you know a few readers check regularly, expecting to see something new. So here is a tiny preview of the next piece I've started--another antique in the garden. Unfortunately I do not expect to complete it until later this week.
Despite my desire to follow Thoreau's advice--"Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify!"-- another major, unavoidable distraction is underway: a third foot surgery for my 20-y-0 son tomorrow. The other two were his second foot surgery in July, which was a spectacular failure (proving for a second time that if something doesn't hurt much, surgery can fix that!) and my mother's tragic illness and death, which pretty much wiped me out from Feb-June. Here's hoping for more productive painting time and a significantly less eventful 2012.
3 So leave me a comment, or just say "hello" already:
So sorry to hear your son is going through this Connie.
Lovely WIP!
So beautiful. I like just this part of the painting -- it's a masterpiece all by itself! So sorry about how difficult this year has been for you.
Thanks, Nicole, that's sweet of you to say. I posted it at this stage more-or-less out of desperation, but later liked it more than I expected. NOW I'm having a hard time retaining the original impressionistic feel of it.
