November is my busiest month, workwise. Commissions, selling the 2023 calendar, the Holiday Bazaar, supplying the places that sell my work, planning for some (maybe) murals, working with an author as we close in on a 5-year project* together (he is writing, I’m editing) . . .
So, I paint when I can fit it in, mostly in 1-3 hour sessions.
It is necessary to be efficient in these sessions, so I do things like mix up some sky colors and then do just the skies on all four paintings of Three Rivers scenery.
But then I couldn’t stop listening to a certain song, so I kept hitting repeat and painted some mountains. It was a logical next step because I was able to mix those sky colors into Distant Mountain Blue (but not too distant).
I’d like to put a lot more detail into these mountains, and probably want to put as much detail as possible in the entire picture. But for now, it is time to stop playing the song over and over and over. . . .
*The project began when the writer asked me for some illustrations in September 2017. Here are three posts about those illustrations. One, Two, Three.

Welcome back to the Wonderful World of the Blogosphere!
And thank you for the song link. On my over to take a listen.
Sharon, thank you for the welcome back. It may be short-lived, as there are numerous tech mysteries remaining with this beast.
I look forward to your opinion on my song obsession.
Well . . . I’m not fond of the whole raising hands = worship thing. And it’s a little “touchy feely” for my taste (whatever does “I speak Jesus” mean?). But I’m just a traditional ol’ fuddy-duddy, so . . . !
Sharon, what grabs me first is the music. If the words “work” for me, that is really a bonus.
