I really don’t feel this is done yet, but I really need to go on to something new and put these muddy lemons aside for awhile…

Still not finished with this one, but still working on it. I paint late at night at least once a week when I can arrange my schedule with an opportunity to sleep in the next morning. I love being in my own little corner of the universe, painting away content on focusing on my own thing and knowing that my family is all asleep upstairs. I usually begin about 10pm and try to wrap up by about 2am knowing that it will be another hour before I’m in bed after the clean up of my brushes and just settling in and maybe reading a book for a few minutes. Last night I started about quarter to 10 – a little early. I recall looking at the clock at 2 and thinking I should finish up and then I looked up again and it was almost 4am. I’m not sure where that time went, but it was already gone. So it was a very late night and a short day today as a result. But Tuesday is a holiday and I have fun things planned for tomorrow night. It’s all good.

“This might end up in crying. If you’re not prepared to cry about it, I’m not sure you’re making art. And if you’re not prepared to dance in anticipation, you’re definitely not making art.”
– Seth Godin in The Icarus Deception

I did not have a lot of time this weekend to give to this painting, but I did play around with the one lemon some. Next weekend should be better…
