Finally back in the studio to paint! The business of art prevents the execution of art at times, but it is all necessary (and no, I don’t have people for that). Today I finished 2 poppy paintings. These will be for a special show on Yokohl Valley sometime in the summer at Arts Visalia. What I want to know is why these paintings took hours and hours and hours. . .

  

 . . . while this painting got this far in only 2 hours! (not finished, no worries)
