Duh Week 2013-W29

Lawsy! did we swelter this week, along with most of America.  After a very productive Monday, this became a week of few accomplishments.  Who wants to move fast — if at all — in such heat?  Yet what always surprises me is how the heat slows the brain as well.  Me feel stupid.  Hard make plan for paint.  In the face of diminished enthusiasm for anything on my painting to-do list, I recalled it was about time for another Propuesta... lazy, but nevertheless decisive.

The theme for Propuesta 7 is painting wet-in-wet; today's painting is just the warm-up exercise from the book (meh!), although I do like poppies.  I wish I'd had the brainpower to translate the steps in the plan instead of relying solely on the photos.  In August and September I'll do a couple more w-i-w paintings with subjects (and plans) more to my liking.  Meanwhile, here's what I cranked out as the ceiling fan whirred silently above me.
