It feels so good to have the day all to myself today. Yesterday is over and today is a new day. Tuesday is usually an errand day and I hope to get those chores finished early.
When I removed the garden painting from the block it felt great. In the book Walking in This World, by Julia Cameron, I read in one of the chapters to ‘Finish something’!
How does it feel to finish something? I felt relief. The act of closing the book on a work is very satisfying. So satisfying that I get a rush of inspiration. Maybe I felt that way because I was happy to be done with a piece I wasn’t thrilled with? Whatever the reason, I became excited about the possibilities.
No sooner had I freed the painting from the watercolor block, I looked over the latest photos I’ve taken and chose one to sketch onto the brand spanking new paper.
I decided to use the butterfly photo I took a couple of weeks ago or when ever that was. I’d like to work it kind of sloppy, sort of abstract. I might use the watercolor paint thick and heavy, throwing it on the paper, just to experiment with the medium. I seem to be daydreaming lately about oil painting again. 
While reading through some of my favorite artists’ blogs I noticed one was doing what I had been thinking to do, which is paint on a small square-shaped canvas. I was writing some random thoughts in the Morning Pages yesterday, yes I’m still doing that, and in the blink of an eye I was looking up at my surroundings thinking I should paint on a 4×4 canvas! Just like that! I thought to myself, ‘You have some weird Artist A.D.D. girl!’ One second I’m writing, the next I’m in LaLaLand and I didn’t know where I was or what I was doing. I had to squeeze my eye lids shut to block out the blur! 
Artist A.D.D- so glad to hear it isn’t just me who has that! I guess in a weird way, that is what keeps us coming up with new things! Looking forward to the butterfly!

ha! I think the artist’s brain was saying, enough with the writing – go paint! 😆
Are you happier with oils than watercolour?
I’m going to have to go back and look for some of your oils. I take it you have some on this blog?
Yes Sheryl,Artist A.D.D! That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it,LOL!
Pat you could be right, too! I have a couple of oils on here. I haven’t had the chance to take pics of most. They’re at my parents’ house because my mother won’t let me take them off her walls!
