A Moderate Success

Today was better.  I did Tae Bo as soon as I woke up and worked up a moderate sweat, then went outside with Miles, fed him lunch, and put him down for his nap.  Then I finally had a chance to wash off that moderate sweat in the shower.  I found a moderately interesting local band on the net and checked out another local band on the net that I had heard about.  Painted after that.  Have decided to paint what I am calling "Process Paintings" for a while.  More about the flow of the process than in the past: painting so that the process feels like an artform; graceful, like a dance, with very little stress involved.  A little mindful of the product in that what I put on the canvas is pleasing to me at the time in relation to what is already on the canvas.  And I don't get stressed out if I can't find the "right brush" or if something bumps against the canvas and smudges the paint or if someone interrupts me and I have to leave off at a point that I hadn't planned because those things are part of the organic flow of the creation of the painting.  It was nice.  Later Miles wanted to have another Easter egg hunt.  This time he hid them and found them.  He was better at finding them this way. :-)
