It's been too long

I've been wanting to write, but too busy. I'm still integrating this into my life. I met with Jane, Friday. She's the young Asian woman I've ben mentioning. It was so great to have someone to talk art with. Talk colors, philosophies plans, ideas.

I still haven't painted (on paper). I'm OK with it because I'm still working on it/them in my head. Maybe after I go to tomorrow's market I'll be able to fill in the missing pieces. Something is missing from my composition, I'm not sure what, or I would fix it. I'm hoping I'll see it at the Market and be able to move on.

Planning painting

As I plan my painting for this week. I am again reminded that the think time, paint time ratio is askew for me. I've been thinking about these paintings for over a week, yet I haven't put a brush to paper. And that's OK with me because I haven't yet fully figured out my paintings. I know what I want to paint, I have some of the composition worked out and some of the colors worked out but not the approach. By that I mean what I am going to paint first, whether it will be wet in wet, or whether I will mix the colors on the paper. I'm looking forward to painting,but I'm just not perpared yet.
