Good News first, right? I got a review! It was written by Peter Frank in Artillery Magazine that just came out! And it wasn’t just a good review, it was a great review. I am so happy!

Clean Slate
It’s been over a week since I’ve quit smoking now and they say that after the first week, you have overcome your battle with “physical” withdrawal. The rest is in your mind. I’m not sure how that works out since I’m on the patch, but I can say that I am starting to feel a little bit better. The cravings are less at the very least and I am back to painting, but just a tad. Nothing too ambitious or anything.
Natural Born Rant
What a day (the day before) yesterday. I started out trying to put some time into this watercolor. See? Not. You can hardly see what’s going on here with this horrible picture, but it’s going to be a kind of abstract cityscape of Jerusalem. …one day.
Crushing Fatigue But I’m Still Working
…When I can, that is.
I have been so tired that I’ve actually been nodding off while I’m painting! I can hardly believe it, but it’s true. It is so frustrating!
The Anti-snob
Because of the holidays, I haven’t been able to get much done over the last week or so. Things are coming along, but not quickly.
