Half Way There!

It is Day 15 of the 30-Day Challenge,  the half way mark.   Of course I know from running marathons that getting to the half marathon mark isn’t too big a deal.  I ran at least a half marathon every Saturday so getting half way wasn’t too hard, it is somewhere around mile 20 that it starts getting tough.  The first half has gone by quickly and pretty easily and overall I’m pretty happy with the work I’ve done.  I’ve stayed motivated to get up and paint early each day, 2-3 hours fly by while I’m working and then I spend some time blogging and figuring out what to do the next day.   Staying a step ahead on planning helps a lot.

I am finding though that I don’t have enough time to go back and tweak paintings that I felt needed a bit extra work, we’ll see if that changes when the rains get here and I’m not as tempted to go out and go fish, hike or just do yard work on a sunny afternoon.   I dream about painting now and often wake up thinking about what I’m going to be doing the next day so it feels like painting has taken over the way programming has taken over at times when I’m neck deep into a coding marathon.   Painting dreams are a lot less stressful than debugging dreams.

Another 15 days then I drop everything off on Nov 17.    Show will be at T.K. Artists Lofts on Thursday, December 5th as part of the Pioneer Square First Thursday Art Walk.
