A quiet day of working at school stuff, from which I was able to carve a couple of hours of painting: that curious sort of satisfying frustration of trying to get something I know I will eventually get, but that's very, very difficult right now. New medium (gouache) and WAY too long since I've done this; also, I'm very much back to basics, un-learning old habits which were limiting me. Time to pack it in, wash up, and get my day's exercise... and most of tomorrow will be taken up with a Faculty Committee meeting at school, where it's going to be 105 degrees.
