• I stole a few moments to paint today...it's been kinda chaotic around here lately and I haven't been doing much art.  :(
  
  

  
  
  I told you I was going to paint over that box!  Ugh.  The red made me feel much better.  I was listening to U2's War also.  That will forever be remembered as the first cd I ever heard.  I have recently thought to ask other people that were around when I would have been hearing that CD.  Bob Spencer.  He was the first person I knew who bought a CD player!  Sheesh...so weird to think of that being old school, already.  He bought a CD player, and U2's War.  His second CD was by Kate Bush.  Anyhoo...it's been fun to discover that every person that has been queried  that would have been hanging out at Bob's back in the day remembers the same thing.  In regards to the painting...it's got a Kate Bush side to come, I guess.  :)
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  There's actually a lot of red added to this, but I took these pictures tonight and with a flash, just for the sake of showing you the next sitting.  ;)  You can scroll down an entry if you want to see the "before"....but I didn't get as much done on these as I would have liked.  I went to look for some cerulean blue (which I end up not owning in oil) and somehow managed to jam my foot on the corner of my paintbox sitting on the floor.  I somehow got the underside of two of my toes caught up on it and scraped them into little bleeding masses.  It hurt.  I went back inside.  :(  But I'm still happy I got some painting done today.
