Have you ever been in the situation where there are so many disparate things to do that you don't know what to do first and pretty much end up doing nothing at all?

That has been my life lately.  Between trying to prepare paintings for several shows, organizing and communicating with people about some fantastic opportunities that have come my way, trying to get things together from my father's estate and just life in general...  It's got me scattered.

I guess I'll just have to suck it up and get it done, but wow.. inertia is hard to overcome!

The best tension easer ever is painting en plein air with friends.     The plan was for Diane and I to get together and paint.  Well, that was what was initially planned but we went with plan B because we got a late start and Diane's car broke down.   We did get together and I painted for a few hours.   Our friends from David Gallup's plein air class were there so we did a lot of chatting.    I managed to do this little study before I had to leave to pick up Tyler.  Diane stayed, watched the dolphins playing and then saw the sun sinking below the horizon.

I think painting rocks is still hard, but at least my rock studies are looking more like rocks!!!
