Well, I got my groove back! Two weekends ago, I took an old self-portrait (12" x 12") which I never could finish and reworked it. It came out quite differently - no longer a self-portrait but a more interesting piece. It is more relaxed and free than my usual style. I can't wait for it to dry so I can take a photo and post it.
Last weekend, I painted over an old still-life (9" x 12") and started another painting based on a photo I took in India a few months ago. I put it aside to dry, took another old painting and covered it with grayish-white paint to get it ready for a landscape. Quite a productive weekend, I must say!

QUIT PAINTING? NO WAY!
In March, I picked up my brushes and painted again after a 6-month rest. But after working on "The Red Boat", I had to put my painting stuff away because of family visits, a beach vacation, and house guests.
I'm sort of back to my old routine now but I still have to sit down and paint or draw. My husband says "my fire has died down". I would hate to think so. Perhaps, it is just on "low". There is just no way I would quit painting. My studio is getting crowded with art work. I'm just waiting to sell a few pieces to make space for new ones.
