Working on a new painting in between preparations to head off Down East for a 6-week cruise of Maine waters. I really want to finish this painting before we leave, as I've been planning it now for too long already. But yesterday was dedicated to prep-ing and varnishing brightwork on the boat; today is for clearing my desk and tomorrow is dedicated to a volunteer task for a three-week urban summer camp. With just a week to go before we sail away, and one morning dedicated to plein air painting, I'm afraid there will not be enough time for the new studio painting.
