Should Have Been Sleeping


Acrylic, 6x6"

Three nights ago, I started painting this when it was a half hour past my bedtime.  I had energy and basically took a notion that I wanted to be painting.  "Painting" as in verb.  I wasn't focused on product, just process.  I pretty much went to the kitchen and took the first few items I saw; didn't give too much thought to arranging the perfect composition or anything.  Just put the items down in a way that was pleasing enough to me and went at it.  For the sheer pleasure of applying paint to board, not thinking too much, just doing.  Two nights ago, I had a second short go at the painting, putting in some fixes I wanted to do, also past my bedtime.  Tonight, I took this photo and get to blog it for you!

Thanks for looking....

I had to keep scrolling back and forth to see the difference, but I do see it. I like them both. It's funny how different monitors see the same things differently, as do camera's. Too weird.
Are ya getting jazzed about going to Dreama's next week?

Have fun.

I've noticed that too. I can even move a few feet or turn in another direction and the photo will look different.

I like your still life. I'm glad you stayed up to paint. Sometimes you just need to.

Thanks, guys, and I'm glad I stayed up, too, Cathy. Weird how different the photos can be! Yes, Sharon I am excited for the workshop!
