2 hours. Amazing what one can accomplish in 2 fly-by sets of 60 minutes. I almost didn’t go to the studio today because I had other annoying obligations that took up all day till 3PM. But I went in anyway, the big gate, the combination lock, the key lock, the chain lock, the foot lock (really all those locks!), and hand over hand cranked open the bay door and propped open the “man” door (did you know my studio has a man-door? that’s why I rented it), turned on all the fans, changed my clothes, gloved my woman hands, sheathed my woman arms, unwedged my palettes from their sticky grooves in the fridge, resurrected my Kolinskys from their linseed spa, and wow, did we ever kick butt today. The painting and I are very pleased 🙂
