I spent the last hour trying to lighten the entire piece, but it's not working. Sigh...

I had this "To-Do" list by my computer for more than a week. Today, it's all crossed out, finally! And of course the toughest ones are the final report for an artist grant I received, and a new exhibit proposal. It feels good.

I got to hang this painting for a few hours in our home today. This is a painting I did in 2021, and it's the very first painting I sold from the gallery. They buyer became my biggest collector. I had it back for a week because the framing developed some issues; I offered to reframe it.
I find the painting to be amateurish and elementary; but it *is* charming, even to my eyes. I still get asked if I still had the original.

After another doctor's appointment, I mowed the lawn (first this year) in lieu of exercising. Then I worked on framing this. It's going to a show in May.

It took hours but many paintings are now filed away, and the duds are on the "to be reused" paper rack. The pastel sticks are back from the easel to the big table and two plein air boxes, pretty much good to go to the field. Because, you know, some day this wind will cease and the plein air season will be here.
