Getting back to my almost daily painting routine.  Did a couple today and this is the only one I am willing to put up here!!! I am rusty.  Have only myself to blame.  But the only way around that is the paint paint paint!  What I like to do to get back in the groove are spheres.  Just works for me. Gets me in touch again with the feel of my brushes, the paints, and the surfaces.  I would never dive directly into a big painting without doing a few ones like this first in a day unless I am really HOT!   Right now I am stone cold as a painter.
