sneak peak

I have been working on this piece all day long. ALL DAY LONG!.....sometimes i just can't seem to juggle everything the way i would really like to. If i had my "Drothers" this piece would have been done a few weeks ago. But that is life in my studio. For example, in order to complete this piece, i had to work on the floor of the living room before the youngest woke up and my other two guys had left for their days...then after the youngest woke up, i had to work on the kitchen table while she ate breakfast, and ended up having to give her her own supplies as well (she loves to paint).  Then, we went and played in the back yard, me with this piece on the makeshift table created from a wood pallet. Once outside did not hold the youngest's attention, we moved into the den for some much needed learning related video time...today we worked on colors. ( figured that was appropriate)  Next came lunch, and then nap time...which, considering that nap time has been ellusive for the last few weeks, imagine the chorus of angels i heard when youngest actually did take a much needed nap...admit it, you can totally hear the angels...this gave me a solid two hours to work on this project...

TWO GLORIOUS HOURS OF SILENCE....

UNINTERRUPTED FOCUS TIME...

NOTHING BUT ART TIME....

you heard them again, didn't you? (angel chorus!)

You would think in that time i would move to a better work area...nope...i stuck to the kitchen...in fact, at one point the 24x24 painting was on top of my stove...perfect height to work on this size...once all of the painting was done, i sat in the middle of the kitchen floor to do the tiny details...

yup! you guessed it...

ANGEL CHORUS!

anyway, i finished it...now, to figure out how i am going to get it where it needs to be by tomorrow...good intentions meant for it to be where it is supposed to be TODAY!...Last night was my intended studio time, because normally that is the only time i can work without the fear of distraction and little hands and feet ending up in my work. But,upset stomach last night made me work on it today instead...and well, you know the rest...

Tomorrow, HOPEFULLY, I will have more full shots of the piece and where it will be displayed.
