2024 #30×30 Day 20 : Sick Leave

June 20, 2024

To my great annoyance, I have been sick for – what? 10 days now? Thankfully not Covid. I had been painting along regardless, but there came a day when it got quite a bit worse. I’m 100% congested. Can ‘t eat and breathe at the same time. Can’t sleep more than a few moments; my own snoring sounds like an outboard engine inside my skull.

So whatever! Very tiresome.

Yesterday I had the energy to clean my palette. That’s the worst part – I had to wash my brushes! If you don’t stop painting, you don’t have to clean brushes :)

Today I mixed paint in the morning, making all the colors I might use for this sunset on the marshes and then over the course of the day I’ve painted this.

No cleverness left in the bank for a title, so I will save that for a future date.

    So sorry to hear you’ve been having a rough time of it! Hoping you feel better soon!! Nevertheless, this direct watercolor challenge has been a boon, and has provided the occasion to churn out daily vignettes in a medium and manner that are extremely difficult for me. I am having fun, though, and maybe improving a little. So thank you so much, and once again, feel better soon!
