Monday Oils, and Video of Me Packing Heat

A Left-handed Breeze Painting the Wind Right-handed 2026. Oil on paper, 18 x 24"

I am enjoying the routine of these paintings. Strong 18 x 24" paper. I’ll do a couple hundred before long. I mentioned before that I have the April energy bug. I just want to paint most of the day. Meals, laundry, using the toilet... All that nonsense gets in the way. It’s a great time to produce because Spring brings hope, and my brain gets tricked into thinking that hard work will pay off. Also, the grass and garden is slow to grow, even if the breeze is fresh and calling me outside to play. I can ignore the call for now. In May it won’t be so easy. Then I’ll rise with the singing of the 4 a.m. birds, and make my paintings in the dark before sticking my fingers in the dirt.
I’ve hung up clothesline around the studio and am hanging my new paintings to dry.
