I haven’t done a bit of art since I finished “Reflection.” What I have done is write 17,000 words for National Novel Writing Month so far! It is a challenge; I don’t feel like writing very much after working, driving home through hell traffic, making dinner and so on. So I have been devoting my precious art time to writing, and I do feel a little bad about it.

The CPSA has their deadline for the “Explore This!” Expo next week. I am hoping to finish “Reflection” off with a coat of acrylic  like I used to do on my first colored pencil drawings. My first favorites are a pair of Gray’s tree frog drawings that have a colored pencil base and a thick coat of acrylic and acrylic medium over them. They look more like paintings because of this treatment. But first I need to write a few hundred more words.
