I’ve been feeling disinterested in painting lately. A sort of murky glum feeling. I mean, how many cards for nursing home residents can a person paint?

I’ve probably painted a few hundred.

They’re all (mostly) different. It’s a good way to try something new, doing it small scale, being sent away regardless of whether or not I like it. Someone will like it.

Well, to be honest, there’s been a few I haven’t sent. After all, nursing home patients don’t really need to be subjected to everything.

But we’ve had lots of sunny fall days and the color outside my window is beautiful right this minute, so there’s no time to lose.

Next up? Christmas cards for folks in nursing homes. Yep. It’s right around this painter’s corner.
