Today I did the background. It took a couple coats to get it really solid. Some areas look like they still need some more paint. Tomorrow I tackle the child’s head, hand, and arm.
I ran a 5k today. It was a slow run, but I felt heavy on my feet and so did my friend who ran with me. So we took our time. I think the final speed was 10’11” a mile. I do feel ready for the half marathon since I did my 10 mile run on Tuesday and I was fine doing that.
I got out my fall scarves yesterday. It’s been chilly enough to wear them again. I also unpacked all of my sweaters and put away my summer clothes.
A couple of throwback paintings that I did many a moon ago…
