So this past week was a doozy. 

Each day is full of a plethora of emotions during this store organizing and opening process. 

I want to make sure we cover all of the legal bases but I am trying to not get too bogged down in the paper work so I escaped for a brief afternoon into a painting project.

This is only partially finished, I still need to make that circle in the top corner look like a clock and add speckles to the Robin's eggs in the nest.

The composition came from a doodle I found in one of my sketchbooks. 

Above is the original sketch which is only about 1 inch by 1 1/4 inches in my sketchbook:)

Painting always has a way of making me feel like I have been shocked back to consciousness. Like I had been laid out on a cold table and suddenly I am up dancing again. I forget this until I pick up a brush:)

I will repost it when it is complete!
