XP - no longer quenching my spirit

 I am having tons of fun ... the good thing about artist acrylics is that it is a flexible medium you can gesso over and it blends into itself .. no peeling whatsoever...I can resuse a canvas a million times ... the extent of my mess is my work area and getting paint on myself ... nothing that jumping into my hot tub won't take care of ... I am heading there now ... TIRED .... the farking pea**** was a PITA and now I don't even like it .... so I am calling it quits ... I could have been done earlier but my DD's friend opened up a new dance studio in Orange and it was the grand opening at 5:30 ... of course I had promised DD I would go with her so I lost 3 hours we did not get back home until 8:30 ... once I got back in I still had the itch to paint so I just looked at the clock and said OMG I better get some sleep...

This is what my mess is looking like right now totally rought unfinished draft ... and it may not even look like this when I am done... I am about to kill the pea**** ... I intend to make my wall seasonal ... I want a winter scene next....

 I get the obsession, thats photography for me.  I could spend every minute of every day creating images.  Sadly my work schedule does not allow it except for the weekends.

I love the pea****

 Back to my mural... thinking I should just gesso out the pea****'s feathers and give it another shot... sigh.. why does everything '****' related tries to be difficult? got to remind myself that I am way out of my element painting animals from mind's eyes....

Well, of course I think it looks wonderful, but if you aren't happy with it, I know you will work on it till you are. The colors are gorgeous!
Sounds like you have had another fabulous day!!

 Thanks Nell ... I made several changes as I went along and this morning even as it is still unfinished I took my pic in front of my Autumn/Harvest mural ... my DH and DS love it so far ... I need to fini**** the way I see it in my head to be satisfied first ... it was a great workout though ... I wish I could have finished it in its entirety ... guess I am getting old fer real LOL

Dayum - you look tall in this picture, have you got really high heels on? I can't tell. Like Oprah, I can't do heels.

 I ALWAYS have high heels on ... I am 5'6" .... thought for a minute I had lost half of an inch but no LOL ... the only flats I own are my slippers and sneakers .... I have no choice ... everyone in my household is over 6 feet tall ... my daughter is 6'2" and my son 6'3" and change... my husband is 6" having lost a few inches due to his amputations ... he used to be 6'2.5" ... My sisters are taller than I ... they are 5'8" and 5'9" ...
