I’ve posted little this week.  The flu sapped my energy and I preserved what little of it I had for painting and drawing. Most days, I got very little work done, and what I did exhausted me. But I am feeling better–knock wood.<\/p>\n

I had my first three painting sessions with Victory Park I<\/em>  during this low-energy period. Victory Park I<\/em> is composed from several photos taken in Vermilion’s Victory Park. I spent a long time on the drawing, as usual, but in these sessions I am just covering the surface with local color. While I am preserve the drawing in this layer, the painting is pretty loose. There is a lot of green in the painting, which presents its own challenge. We’ll see how it goes. Victory Park I<\/em> is 36″ x 48″.<\/p>\n
