A PAINTING DAY. . . .

"Connections  Red"        50cmx50cm      oil,wax on  wood panel



I've been away from the studio for weeks now.  Working for the annual Bazaar sponsored by the American International League of Florence which aids local charities in need.  It happens every year at this time and I enjoy it I  admit.  We fashioned some fun hat/headbands with a lot of fru-fru ribbons, tulle and sequins. Hope they sell. I also made lavender sachets using old embroidered linens and tulle (check my facebook page). Soo, because of this time away from painting and household duties, today was programed to be ironing day.  . . . but, I never made it to my ironing board.  Started out early making the changes, additions to the last, almost finished panel I have been contemplating in the studio and there it is. A time to absorb and (as Janice Mason Steeves, my mentor, says) a pause to listen to your painting is  important  for moving on. I know that this pause has given me a stronger urge to get back to the studio, to continue.  I have several other paintings waiting to be finished. Nothing will stop me this time.
