I finished this last night.

I don't really finish paintings, as much as paint until painting more ceases to make sense. This one is fairly large (3'x4'), and is on canvas. This is the first time I've painted on canvas. I prefer wood. Canvas has a texture and a bounce that seems to work against you rather than with you. Most paintings provide a bit of insight. This one helped me recognized that Neo-Megilp is very good for final lighting effects. Basically, I thin the paint, and work over the shadows and highlights with blues, greens, yellows, etc. You can't see it, but you can sense when it is there and when it is not.

My next painting is going to be on wood, and it will be smaller.

I ran for the first time since cutting off my fingertip several weeks ago. It throbbed a bit, but it wasn't as bad as I had dreaded it might be. The cold bothered it more than the exercise. I also did some push-ups. I am currently switching between my left middle finger and my shortened index finger as I type this. My brain definitely needs to be re-trained.
