We got together with my Mom, her husband, and my brother's family yesterday for Xmas. We all did a 10-day quarantine beforehand. It was the first time we were inside with each other in almost a year. That was nice. Here's the most recent with the current painting: I only get to paint once a week at best, which isn't enough to be sufficiently therapeutic. I've also started heat-shaping a sheet of lexan into a body for my custom rc car. It is a slow and delicate process. I have a bunch of other things going on.
I like the painting. The trees in the distance look like they’re in a line, marching to the larger tree. I hear you Re painting/therapy. I am not recording enough music but last week I made myself record 3 different nights. There’s a problem with this, it means I typically get 4-5 hours of sleep those nights. I used to be able to get away with that. No longer. It wrecks me. It’s almost not worth it. It’s important to make time for painting. Everyone needs their “hockey.”
