Yes, I did one more of these. This one is for somebody, so that's o.k... Again, I wouldn't post it here since it's so similar to others, but I have nothing else to post. And that yellow?! That's the scanner. I don't know why the scanner makes the yellow look so bright and yellow and electric, when in fact, it is very subtle. Just one more scanner annoyance. I just finished this one and another painting and I don't feel like drawing or painting or anything else that involves putting any types of marks on paper or canvas for the rest of the day. As for the subject of the painting, I am finding, as I often do, when you paint from the same photo over and over, the paintings don't get better, they get worse. They start getting boring to do and lose their spontaneity. For instance, even though I've painted this guy (or girl)6 times, I like my first one the best. That's just how it seems to go. In other painting news, I seem to have splashed a bit of white paint on my couch cover. I'm trying to scratch it off right now.
What am I going to do for the rest of the afternoon? Well, I think when I am done here, I am going to get up and make some chili and then I will either read or watch a library video. Sounds like an exciting day, doesn't it? As the videos that I have are library videos, they may or may not work. Other library video checker outer's here will know what I'm talking about. I am really quite sleepy today and don't feel like doing much of anything. It's good to have Wednesdays off, even if I do have to work on weekends. But then again, on Saturday morning when I have to get up and get ready for work, I will probably be wishing that I had worked on Wednesday instead.
Oh, and before I go, I should share this link. It lists the most popular names by decade for the last century. I kind of like that my name, in its true form (Ann and Annie, make some of the lists, but not Anne), doesn't seem to have made the list in any of these decades. I'm glad to have a name that is a little less common. My sister's name, however, seems to be on the list for several of these decades.

i like this little guy (or girl) very much and am cheered by his (or her) presence here on your blog today.
Your day off sounds lovely (although for selfish reasons I would like you to do more art so you could post more art so i could enjoy more art) but am glad that you will be able to enjoy some chili and some chillin' and that will make you happy and it is good for you to do what makes you happy on your day off----even though it is supposed to be All About Me (hee hee ha hahahahahah)
I heart the painting...very nice. Maybe the scanner is trying to make a Frankenrhino out of it with all the electric yellow I'm seeing.
I hope you are enjoying some chili and just relaxing on your day off.
I'll have to check that link on names out although I'm sure mine is on it...it's such a common name.
