update

Good day painting yesterday. Put in about 12 hours. Then some red wine and a little absinthe. Those who know anything about absinthe know that lautrec and his circle were all absinthe drinkers. There is the famous painting of the absinthe drinkers by degas. I believe that was his. I wouldnt drink too much of that stuff at anyone time. But it was a good evening and im ready to paint again today. I will be back in NYC on saturday or sunday. A big part of painting is doing your homework and prep work. I hate prep work, my nature is to just attack I call this method point and paint. Point and paint can cause problems a also bring rewards. There is a lot of re-painting when you paint off the cuff. Happy accidents are the reason we have 75% of our science advancements including the discovery of benzene and polio vaccines. Dont be afraid of happy accidents in art. Let chance guide your brush. Pray to God but row away from the rocks. Time to make the donuts.
