Went into my studio at about 11:00 am and got so lost in what I was doing that I missed lunch and didn't come down until gone 3:00 pm!  My lighthouse is almost finished - at one point I thought it was finished but then decided to redo the sky, which entailed erasing some completed work.  I have been trying to get away from blending, but couldn't get the sky to a point where I was happy with how it looked. Now I have to go back and do my clouds again!  

I'm so mad at myself because I dropped one of my new Maggie Price Values pastels, and of course it didn't land on the padded area under my easel, it hit the hardwood floor and broke into little pieces, then to add to the confusion, I knocked over the little plastic container that I keep the tiny little broken pieces in!  What a mess!
