Sneak peek of A New 5" x 7" Painting

Right now I'm working on another small painting, though I've been feeling so crummy I only get about 15 minutes tops a day IF THAT to even work on anything. Honestly, I've been in so much pain and we've all been so miserable over here because of it that this night owl family has been going to bed at 9pm and just doing our best to survive. I seriously can't wait for this silly flare to go away!!! I was doing so good before too!

I so just want to be able to play with my kids again, start cleaning again, and start painting regularly again. It hurts my heart to have gotten so far along in my recovery and then to lose it all in an instant. Yay for fibro and other annoying diseases and conditions like this, right? Oh well. At least I got a start on this one painting and am going to get back to work on it right now during Levi's nap and while Daddy is at the store with Owen. Hoping I can finish it tonight so I don't go crazy and all... LOL! Haha, oh man, I don't know... But here's a sneak peak of the sky for another of my misty mountain paintings... Needs a little more work, but we'll see how it turns out today, or tomorrow, or the next... =)

I know it's not very exciting or anything, but I just wanted to put something up here for the sake of myself, and it feels very good seeing something, even something this small, done. =) Hope you're having a good day and that you too can accomplish something today of worth, no matter how small. =D

 

UPDATE: Well, this painting got scratched! It's crazy how much your mood actually affects your work, and honestly, if you couldn't tell by the tone of my voice, I just wasn't having such a great day. Sorry to dump my sorrows on you - I'm sure you have plenty of your own without me adding to them. But at the very least something was learned that day. Don't paint on a favorite painting if you're in a bad mood, because you really might ruin it. Luckily, this was just a start for a work and nothing more, so I don't have to feel too guilty about washing it over with paint. But yeah, it's good to know that when I paint grumpily, it really shows in my work. I'm not sure if it was Bob Ross or Jerry Yarnell who said never to paint angrily unless you want it to show up in your work, but whoever it was, well, they hit the nail on the head! Have a good one my friends! =0)
