Sweet Exhaustion - November 10, 2013

I seem to be in a painting race to the finish line of giving them away in a week. What is going on here? There must be some primitive urge to over prepare for having stuck my neck out, combined with the compulsion to use materials in the studio which is leaving me breathless with aching legs at the end of the day ... and deeply satisfied seeing paintings seemingly pop out of the air.

In the midst of one effort I find myself inadvertently placing things side by side and being side-tracked until the next thing I know frogs are  leaping into the picture.
