Double Down 2013-W21

What a crazy week!  For my own amusement, I keep a list of the countries whence (i.e. from where) my blog has international visitors.  I was bored on Thursday afternoon and found that since Saturday, I'd had my first visitor from seven countries, thus bringing the total up to 26.  In alphabetical order, the seven were Columbia, Cyprus, Egypt, Indonesia, Italy, Lithuania, and Pakistan.  Definitely pan-global.  And sometime on Tuesday my blog had its 1,000th viewing...  so, a big thank you to all who have visited.  I appreciate your support!

Meanwhile, about the same time that my 1,000th view was happening, I was reflecting on how I've been diligent about painting every Saturday morning.   Not just happy about successfully honoring the commitment, but happy to be spending the time that way.  So why not double the pleasure?  Being good with math, I figured that half a week from Saturday morning would be a three hour chunk on Tuesday evening.  And so starting the 28th, I'll do art Tuesday evenings as well.

But I think one blog post a week is plenty for now.  I might have two works to show, or maybe a small shot of the work in progress to accompany the finished product.  Time will tell.  All I can say is I'm looking forward to double the fun.  And, I hope you all will continue to look in from time to time too.

Speaking of works in progress, today at Salon deWinchester I only managed to get the background blocked in.  I may get back to painting later today, or I may leave it for Tuesday night.  Here in the meantime is an excerpt to add color to this posting until the completed painting materializes...

Well, as it happened, I did put in some time on the dreary Memorial Day weekend.  In the end, though, I finished up on Tuesday night and here you go.  Enjoy!
