Besides picking up our exercise routine Monday morning, after a mostly weekend recovery break from a nice chunk of fitness workouts last week, Sheila and I are ( hopefully ) in our last week of document prep for acceptance into a new 55+ senior community being built here in Austin. We’re very hopeful we’re gonna be able to settle into an area we’d feel comfortable staying at for a good while; should have something firm sometime this week 😊

We also need to have our car serviced and inspected, also preferably this week.

This coming Saturday we have two art opening to attend with my art in them : Primal Gallery in Dripping Springs just west of Austin, and Austin Art Space ( via AVAA ) in sorta-near Austin 🙏

I’m also filling out a huge online application for a potential Christmas time art / crafts show running mid-November to Christmas eve 🤞

And we want to be able to still get in what we consider as very necessary-for-our-health fitness set through the week.

Did I mention I’d like to get some new art done too? 😊

I hope to. I should be able to. And I have started a new 2 piece polyptych, “Morning’s Promise,” that I’ve deliberately chosen to work in multiple glazing layers.

Here’s a view of the new work from an angle —

My straight-on shot top of the post is nice, but I think the angled view immediately above more accurately captures the sense of expansiveness. It is, after all, 56 inches in length, not including spacing between the two panels, and 22 inches tall.

I’d like to do a more textured, heavily nuanced surface painting, but am so very grateful I can choose to also do this more thinly-textured but more subtly nuanced work ( watercolor & acrylic ), especially at a time where it’d be almost impossible to do a heavier, more time-intensive piece, probably leaving me not doing anything at all, lol!

It’s nice to dance the surface of my canvas as needed. And able ☺️

And right now, a light step, at an easy pace, may give me the time – and energy – to get more than a handful of other needed things also done this week. Not a bad compromise. For now 😊

As my wife said just a few minutes ago – “We’re working toward something very meaningful for us, and we gotta put in the work….” ❤️

Stay nimble everyone! Stay well! 💕

ps – the grey-ish line creating a figure profile / mountain ridge line is via a grey watercolor pencil coated over with Goldens Extra Heavy Matte Gel medium
