Inching My Way to Finished

This morning I had my kids' things on my mind and it was kind of taking up a lot of my day, but I did manage to get some studio time in. I worked a little more brown into the background of this painting, added gold, and did a few other things. I am finally pretty happy with it, but I need to visit it again on Friday to decide if I think it is finished. That is all the painting I will be getting in today though. The three other paintings are taunting me, but they must wait.

I meant to mention yesterday that I listened to Elizabeth Gilbert's Ted Talk yesterday while I was painting. She is the lady who wrote "Eat Pray Love" (which I still haven't finished). The talk was so good, she talked about the creative genius within us. You should give it a listen. I think I will listen to it again.

Blogging after each day in the studio is fun and difficult. It is hard to keep up with, but I am loving the feeling of marking my progress publicly. Thank you Bren, Kathryn, Karin, Mary, Karen Jo and Sandy! Your comments are really helping me.
