* sigh * It was one of those days...

Some days, painting is like pulling hen's teeth.  I bounced out of bed eager to get to work in the studio, started a couple of mourning doves then turped out when I found myself getting too noodley.   I'm doing the 75 for 75 project to loosen up, not to noodle a painting to death.  So after a couple of false starts, I painted a little sanderling.

Perhaps I had trouble painting today because I had my mind on other things.   Barcelona.  In early September, Joe Garcia and I are teaching a workshop in Tuscany.  Joe and his wife Anne, and I have been trying to decide where we'd like to spend a week prior to the workshop.  So I spent an hour online this morning, trying to find a place to stay in Barcelona.  The last time we taught in Tuscany, we spent a week in Riomaggiore (Cinque Terre on the west coast of Italy) and a week in Montelciano, a hilltop town.  So this time, we've voted for renting an air-conditioned apartment in the center of Barcelona.  Bueno!

I doubt that Shane will be able to do a piece for the project today.  When I spoke to him earlier he was bogged down with commercial work.

I'm starting to sweat!!
