I was so excited to get my card reader in the mail yesterday! I took a lot of photos and started editing them. As a break and a treat for the dogs, we all went to the dog park. Unfortunately, things got a little sketchy after that. The RV wouldn’t start. The car battery has been draining very fast and I’ve had to jump it several times in the past couple weeks. Normally, this is fine as I can jump it by myself, but once before and of course this day, I needed a running vehicle to get her going.

I had to go to Ace anyway for some spray varnish for my paintings. They tested my battery and it was pretty done. I hadn’t even had this one for a year! So I bought a new one and finished my errands. By the time I arrived at my spot, I had a migraine.

So, while I was finally able to take and edit some photos, I did not paint.

You win some you lose some.

Here are half of the paintings I have done so far in January:
