Some days that are all about teatime. Up in the morning and someone offers you tea. You meet friends later for tea in the afternoon. Suddenly a conversation takes a turn towards the deep and emotional. And now you and your troubled friend are sitting in your cozy kitchen at dusk having tea, offering comfort—tea and a few bites of banana nut bread.

Project notes: It’s about 2 weeks now of painting daily. I started it during the holiday break. I expected the focus to get challenged when the work week kicked back in. And it has. Yesterday’s painting didn’t go well because I hurried through it. It took 1 hr. and 10 minutes and I cringed to post it. But posting bad paintings is just as important as the better ones. Today, I decided to take my time and enjoy every moment even if I spent 2 hours with today’s post. After I finished I looked at the clock. 30 minutes, my original goal. It’s all about state of mind isn’t it?
