A Tale of Woe (and Triumph)

I learned a very important lesson last night. Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never underestimate the time it will take to finish a project. Especially when it's a painting. Especially when you are beginning on that painting at 4:00 in the afternoon. Let's just say that when I went to school today, getting up at 6:00 am, I was running on a highly inadequate 3 hours of sleep. I was on auto pilot the whole day. Luckily, it was the last day of a trimester, so we weren't doing much. But I finished the watercolor! And it felt so wonderful! (Sadly, with the end of the trimester comes the end of my painting classes for this year, so I actually have to buy art supplies myself now. ;) Getting rid of my oil palette was strangely sentimental. We have been through much together........ Can you tell I'm sleep deprived?)
