Last night I didn’t start painting until 10:20 after House MD and some piano playing. I was tired but manage to paint for an hour and a half. It seems that lately I paint better when I’m tired, but if I’m too tired I become a washout. I feel my work is becoming more fluid but I can also see where I can go back and emphasize edges and colour. I should get more painting done tonight and after this one is done I’ll set up one more still life before going outside to paint. Oh yeah, I almost forgot… besides painting I also have to get some renovations done this week.

I have included a picture of a paint box that my brother Glenn got for me when I was in grade ten. I believe he got this box, books and an easel for 10 bucks, thought his mother-in-law who got them at a yard sale. I used this paint box all through my four years at OCAD and might use it for painting outside soon.
