Back to work.

Another thing I miss while traveling with Eric is that I’m not home to paint. On many occasions an idea sparked (usually in the middle of the night) and I wanted to run to my easel — but I was hundreds of miles away held up in a hotel room. A couple years ago, I lost my desire to paint so when I get the motivation, it's important to jump on it before it fades. I do not want to experience another creative block like that again (that experience is a long, frustrating story in itself). What has helped me stay enthusiastic is having about 5 paintings going on at once. This is one of them, a small painting, I had to leave in the middle of for basket workshops in New Jersey and Georgia. Doesn't visually say anything yet since only the background layers are in. Need to work on the little details next. I have about a few more hours left. I am looking forward to finishing it. When I'm done, I'll post the photo of the scene I took out West for the inspiration.
