Up early again for another painting from the Yakima Canyon trip a few weeks ago, there will be more. I’m still stuck in E.WA since I don’t want to deal with all the green over here quite yet. Green is my nemesis when it comes to painting. This was mid-day as the sun started breaking through and the clouds began breaking up. I don’t think I caught any trout from this spot though.
I dreamt about painting last night so I can tell this is on my mind day and night. I’ve been painting for 7 days straight which is the most I’ve done in years and it has evidently sunk into my subconscious now. So far these first three days have gone pretty smooth. Last night Catherine and I were discussing it and I wondered if at some point I’ll “hit the wall” like people do in a real marathon. For some reason I never hit the wall in any of the marathons or even the 50k I’ve done, so maybe there will be no wall in the remaining 27 days of painting.
