Well, I've switched from watercolors to acrylics for this painting and will try my hand at watercolors on something different. I've already got my eye on a water lily pattern that I can adapt. I picked up some 140lb paper yesterday too. I think that will also make a difference. You can see, I've almost gotten the canvas based in and I will be starting the shading next, then adding details. I can see lots of potential for details with this.
I'm making headway in my pursuit of breaking my smoking habit, down from a full pack a day to only 3 cigarettes. I can see not smoking at all soon. It hasn't been easy and I certainly don't want anyone to think it is. I have to make decisions every minute it seems, or at least every hour whether or not I have the will to say no to myself and not run to the kitchen to grab something to eat. I haven't felt hunger pains for years, but every time I do, which is often, I want a cigarette to take those pains away. Quitting smoking and being on a diet, really bites but I have noticed I am not suffering from sinus problems anymore. Now that's a really good thing! :-D
