Helped family drag tree limbs while they cut them down. I wasa huffing and puffing. But got it done. I feel manly. I got the underpainting for my painting done, just letting it dry. Not what I'd initially planned, but intrigues me. The burning wood for the burn pile spoke to me. Particles floated from everywhere, beyond the pile itself. I love the smell of burning wood. Is there a non-tobacco scented burnt wood cologne?

Here is the painting along with two pieces for my mother's birthday tomorrow.

Watching 90s commercial compilations and painting an angel and a St.bernard for my mother's birthday. I am horrified when I think of her growing older. I am stuck in a past I've never been to.

Think I'm getting a cold. Working on commissions. My dog is really itchy, he gets allergies real bad. He is under my desk hiding as I type. He's a big baby. Coming up with a new digital painting idea as well as traditional. For the trad., thinking of a portrait of a dog. Loose, thick, expressionist. For the digital, my characters St. Bernard and The Shepherd.

Art I liked today: The Railway, Edouard Manet. (Can't find title) John Duncan.

Today I helped two elderly people put in a refurbished two seater car seat in an old car. I don't know the model, I'm no car guy. But it was pretty. Then the thing wouldn't start and we had to push it up the hill into the garage, so I got my workout in to make up for my sedentary hikikomori lifestyle. Kidding. Not. Kinda. They're real nice and have a crazy history I won't spill online. It was nice to get out the house, I don't go many places. I've been cooped up in my room drawing for the past month. I had a dream about my old dog Penelope a couple nights ago. She was playing in the dirt and I rubbed a muddy spot off her forehead. Sorta reminds me of Ash Wednesday. I can still feel her fur like she was right here with me. She was my angel. Today is Garfield's birthday, so good vibes... gooooood vibes.

Went ahead and added a pic of Penny for you to look at. Wasn't she perfect? Maaan.
