I’m back. I managed two sketches, both of which were executed with a lot of frustration. What I failed to achieve due to my colour malfunction I sought to recover with colourful language I hope my niece and nephews didn’t hear. I took a great deal of tonal notation however, while there, and many pictures. I plan to produce a great deal in the weeks to come with help of those. The two above I struggled with but post in the interest of transparency. I seem to struggle with every painting, but these, like most of the them, in time I came to appreciate. I think I’m always surprised by how much of my own emotion and interpretation goes into each painting I produce.
