Finishing: What a Concept
No, not about piano as unblocker yet, nor about Richard Dawkin's fabulous The Ancestor's Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution and the freeing concept that one is not only descended from apes but is in fact one oneself.... (Thank you, Leslie!)
I can't remember exactly when a bunch of us met at a local vineyard to paint and I began this. I loved the start and was, as usual, afraid to ruin a good start by messing with it. But of course it was only a start and not yet a painting. Good grief. So day before yesterday I took my life in my hands and began throwing paint on. Yup, I knew what to do about the unfinished work. Then yesterday, I wrapped it up. And sat back and worried about what to do about the finished work. So what I did was snap its pic and call it finished. Yay for finished!
Next stop: the Bowery, nearly forty years ago.... (Unless I go ape first, or start playing that piano again.)

Almost Wine Time. Oil on canvasboard, 11"x14". $225 gets it to your home or office. Hah! I'm marketing!

Beautiful, Margot! Love it.
It's perfect Margot!
I've noticed that you are not making entries in your blog (It's now May 19). I also saw on Paint-L that you are in a painting funk right now. I hope you are back to painting soon.
Once I started trying to do a picture a day, I feel compelled (and I mean compelled) to do one every single day. Sometimes I cheat and do two in one day so I can post without worry). Would it help you to paint something each day?
I like the joy in this painting.
Beautiful work. Not sure if you will see this comment. But, anyway, I also posted to your website. Wanted to know if you would e-mail me sometime. I have an idea about a project...
