Raining again, focusing on portrait of "Mac". My wolf hounds keep trying to sleep at the foot of my easel, madding. Have begun work on some marine paintings of whales influenced by historical accounts. I'm obsessing over building up paint to create feel of a wave, the color, the transparency. The ocean is a magic force to try and capture in a painting will take some time. Next couple of days busy with family studio looks far away,  hard on a roll. Hard to work at night now with the weather changing tired want to read in bed, sleep, dream.
