I often begin work on a painting without an idea of what I will name the painting. As I am working the name comes to me, as it did with this painting. I’ve decided to call the painting Rosario because it makes me think of a friend I had in 6th grade. Today is grey and rainy. I’m fighting the gloom by painting the background a vivid blue. I miss working in oils, but I bought a batch of acrylics, so I am committed to using them. Between boughts of painting, I am drinking coffee and daydreaming about spring–will it ever arrive?
