I enjoyed my painting process in the last few day immensely. 

I need to slow down and paint deliberately.  

With full intent and awareness of my thought process.

I am challenging my ability to "see" more.

not sure where I hear follow statement but it sure got my full attention.

 

 "The insensitive eye can paint a picture. It is unlikely to produce a work of art."

work-in-progress,

yesterday was another frustrating day, my head hurt again,

my Dr. gave me a shot for tension headache

I am good today, resumed my block-in and work out my composition a bit.
