Note to self….choose paint colors that I have enough of to finish the job!  I tend to create challenges for myself that are unnecessary. I needed to paint in window shutters and a door frame. I have, at least, a couple hundred bottles of paint on hand at all times. So, you would think that I would choose a color that I have plenty of when I need to cover an area on the canvas. But, NOOOOOOO! I really, really wanted to use the peach color that is drying out and only has a tiny amount left in the bottle. I’m thinking, “what the hell?”. Actually, I wasn’t thinking at all!! After I began using the peach, I am now wondering if I will be able to scrape up enough to do a second or third coat. It would have been SO MUCH EASIER to just choose a different color that has an ample amount to work with. It was in that easy~breezy, artist moment that I realized how difficult I make things on myself sometimes. Probably more times than I recognize. I am bent on using the peach for the door frame and window shutters, so tomorrow the verdict will be in. I will know if there is enough without having to make a run to the art supply store.

Eye Yi Yi !!

Not very interesting news, just a moment in the mind of an ordinary artist.
