I've been so busy with so many things that I took my own spring break. It's good to be back in my routine.

I don't think I've ever painted 50 paintings in a year, much less 4 months.

My life has been chaos. Spring is a busy time here with the gardens. I also substituted for a friend this week and had to prepare for 2 art history courses. Then there was the day spent on campus to teach. I'm not complaining. It rained all day and the grass is turning an intense, drunken, spring green.

Life is getting in the way... This is Thursday's painting. I hope to be back on schedule tomorrow.

I'm learning quite a bit from the smaller paintings and have been putting it to use in the larger works. This is much larger than my daily paintings. The building up of layers is much more important in the larger works. It's a little like an excavation.

I am really liking the warm weather, even though the cold will return. I sat my chair out on the edge of the creek and painted. Life should always be so perfect.
