2:40 PM update: i'm stopping here for the day. a bit earlier than usual because at 4:15 we have to leave for a meeting in alamosa having to do with our slv summer camp, which starts next month.
perhaps part of my unsettled feeling today is that the roofer came to check out a leak and, while he was able to do a temporary fix, we learned that we need an expensive repair to half the roof. he's a good guy and knows what he's talking about, so we just have to bite the bullet and do the repair. but it has to be during a period when there's no rain on the horizon for about 10 days-2 weeks.
BELOW: 2 details of parade 44 as it looked at the end of my painting day.
1:30 pm update: yesterday after looking at the freud catalogue i began work on parade 44. it went so well, it scared me. when i got back to the house, i felt fear. this morning before heading to the studio, i continued to feel fear. the closest i can get is that i was afraid of not being able to find that sweet spot again. i continued working this morning and had the same feeling. it brought to mind samuel beckett's waiting for godot.
