Day 4: Procrastination
Well not so much that as distractions every which way. The carnival meant that we didn’t make a start on things until late in the day. Nette decided how she wanted to change her painting and as I type ahead of the days end I am wondering what I’m going to do with mine. I still have the feeling that anything less than perfect is a waste. Perhaps I should take a leaf from the revellers’ book and eat, drink and be merry!
As I’m typing the next paragraph it can only mean that we are finished for the evening. I changed the purple to a bronze , which balances far better. The structure paint is very heavy so has pulled the canvas. This can be adjusted at the end so I am not too worried by this.
The painting so far
I have a green piece to add to this as the second square and I know the shade of red that I will get at boesner tomorrow to complete the set. I now need to decide on the texture it should have.
Nette has been productive with her evening. Progression has been made with yesterday’s piece.

As I finish this post off for the evening I can’t help but look longingly at the work area. Another cup of coffee and away I go. The night is still young!

This all has the feeling of a late 19th century artists circle. I’m jealous! (But lovingly so.)

Oh! That might explain why we feel so old!
