Another Day at the Mill.

Good morning. Well it is another day at the mill so to speak. It is already 90 here in TX and will be another scorcher. My studio has a small window unit which works pretty well until round 3 or 4 in the afternoons and then the heat is a little much to keep up with. When I am painting the paints are drying almost as fast as I get from the plate to the painting. I end up doing so paper work and go back to the painting.
I would rather have the heat than the cold and the rain. I am working on 5 leather paintings at one time at the moment, so I do not get stuck in a rut on one. I do not know about any one else who paints but I find that I get stuck on a part, and have to leave it and go back to it later with a fresh mind. I did a commission not long ago and it was the one and only at that point. Well that ONE take twice as long becasuse I just could not get past a certain point. That point was what colour to do one of the dogs. I wanted that one dog to bring out the other dogs in the picture, but everytime I got out a colour and touched it once, I thought STOP thats not it. I did manage to get the painting finished and the guy loved it.

I like so many others have been keeping up with the little girl that is missing. I do not think much of the mother, as she should be going out of her mind with the disappearance of her child. I don't believe a word any of them are saying.

Well bye for now have great day folk.
