Started new painting in garage. I told Kim, "See it's coming together." That was followed by a moment of silence and Kim's encouraging, "How do you do that? That's a real gift to be able see it like that. I just don't see it." I realize now how funny it is that I just assumed she could see what's in my mind's eye.
If I were to paint this orderly it's going to lose the vibrance. It will not turn out good. Not only that, I'll get bored.
In this case I DO have a plan. I'm copying an original. It all started when I heard "Hunger Strike" by Temple Of The Dog. Maybe it was that I read something about obesity in school being related to potatoes. Maybe I wanted to mull over the disparity of some starving needing a potato and another unable to move well because of too many. Maybe it was Connie being here and me thinking about Van Gogh. I dunno.
I suppose I should be more direct.... but that makes it so painting by the numbers where it's all flat and really I don't know what I'm going to do just yet LOL

Okay... I decided to put the Plymouths etc back. And then I threw in a Redfish tail. I just told Kim, "Washington might have the mountains but we have Redfish. We have the fish."
Odd that I was talking about fishing and the next day I was out fishing? This is another case of *not* planning working.
