Painting for my daily challenge to myself...

Acrylics. A4 sized.
This was meant to be just the 3 trees. But stupidly I started them too high on the page. Oops. So then I got the fan brush (it had just been the flat brush to put a thin coat of white initially on the page and then the two men's shaving brushes for painting the background and blending and the leaves on the trees, and the rigger brush for the tree trunks and branches - it was meant to be a quicker painting today, half hour up to this point) and tried to do some greenery (ferns???) at the front. Those blinking ferns took another half hour to paint!!!!!!
Thank you for the hugs for my hand. I have been doing some exercises my friend told me to do, and I found my small metal Chinese exercise balls which are suitable for hand exercises. Years ago I could manipulate 3 of those small balls in my hand, now I am having difficulty to get two of them to move round the palm of my hand....
There are so many things I am meant to do on a daily basis that I could spend all day doing these exercises etc, and I meditate daily too (and this is important to set my mind for the day and I might meditate up to a couple of hours and it's not timed, I just do it until I am ready to come out of it, it's just the way I do that)...what about life and living and doing my own stuff or even shopping for food? So, quite a bit falls by the wayside. I am sure it could be the same for the rest of you?
Got some messages and important official stuff to deal with today. So got to get psyched up for that!
Take care and hugs and have fun.
Making another coffee now and reading back on your posts, then I will vanish....
