So far, I’ve been painting with oils. I love both the smell and movement of the paints.But they take so very long to dry. Hoping to get another day or two out of oils, and finding enough safe spots for the paintings to dry.

It is the last day of November and the grass is lush and green, here in Minneapolis. The trees, bare, their trunks and branches the color of ashes.  It is raining, gently. And the way the rain leaves the world all glossy and silver, makes me wish I could paint with it.
