Mud

Mud
6x6 oil on panel

My daughter stayed home sick from school. I thought I would take advantage of her nap time and attempt to paint her. I had a good start and there was a point where it looked pretty good. Then I got a couple phone calls, the dog wanted out, more phone calls and my time was running out. I attempted to continue to paint during all of this. I cannot talk while drawing or painting. One of the activities always suffers, be it the conversation, or the piece I am working on. In this case it was the piece I was working on. By the time all this was done, she woke up and moved and I could not resurrect this from a slow and painful death.

This goes in my ugly collection to remind me that phone calls mixed with paint causes mud.
