I did little work yesterday but rest, which is the perfect way to start a perfect year. Today I've been underpainting "Hell Is Having Nothing To Do But Wait For The Conclusion Of An Inevitable Journey". I posted a couple of quick colour studies for this a few days ago. I've put the picture away to dry so can't post a photo yet. It certainly doesn't look like I've spent 11 hours on it, but I have. It's been good to get back to painting but I could do with coming back up to speed. I find that when I begin I concentrate on tiny details using my tiniest brush, painting tiny bits perfectly. This is not very efficient. I'll get faster then more I paint.
But ho! It's a new year! I file things by year so I've now got empty space for new poems, songs, writings! That's a good incentive to create new things so I aim to do just that.
