My show at HART is being held over until June 30. YEAH! I bought some Sennelier paints. I should have guessed that they wouldn’t be exactly the same colors as other brands. I was disappointed to see that the Burnt Sienna was more yellow than I was used to. But the consistency was divine!

Well! This is a fine mess you’ve gotten us into. I thought I’d learned so much from from Cherry Blossom left. Yesterday when I was working on collages, I found better pictures of trees in bloom. The big problem now is getting rid of the cherry blossom that was at the bottom right. I scraped a LOT of paint off of it. That is a real advantage of working on a panel. After it dries, I’ll figure out what to do with that corner. I know some painters know exactly what they are doing. Actually, I figure they are full of crap, because I think a painting is like a work of fiction. The characters can hijack the story.

Took Tues. & Wed for colonoscopy. One tiny polyp, and I’m good to go for ten years. I realized I need to think of symbols, the tree as a symbol. Now, I’m standing on the outside, aloof. I need to be a part of this tree, not merely observing.

I painted a bit yesterday before we went to Kim’s baby shower. It was lovely, and she’s ready to have the kid. She had amazing ultrasound photos. Today I worked on both paintings. So, the first photo is from Sun.
