Finally managed to get back to my easel this afternoon.  I worked for about an hour but then I lost the light and had to stop.  I really have to get some better lighting for my studio - I am looking at getting a full spectrum light because I find that I can't work with regular incandescent light, the color is all wrong.  I took a trip to our Blick store in Boston yesterday but they had almost no lights in stock.  They have several on their web site, so I think I'll have to go that route. If I get some decent light it will also help with photographing my pictures.

  

I also bought some gold paint today and spray-painted a frame I had picked up in a thrift store. It's looking quite good now.  I was also planning on framing my picture titled "What lies Within" and bought a frame for it today, but didn't get round to it.  Maybe tomorrow.
