Good day in the studio today. The "feather" (/ugly duckling) painting still isn't pretty, but I can now see where the understructure will become the base for a beautiful work. I put a layer on the draped canvas, and so far it's looking lovely. Yay.
**addition I first went to the art store not knowing what I needed, but I found it. Galkalide medium. Perfect for what I wanted to do.
As I discovered later at Aikido, it mucks with my lungs. Managable breath shortage got ugly. Feel so energized though! SHort of breath, exhausted, and feel like I want to run for miles. Sortof... I did play (wrestle) with someone who reminds me of a bear after the second class. Awesome to play, but sadness for the breathing. I've kept my skills better than I thought though. :) He'll have hell to pay when I can breathe!
Weapons training for the first time. Much is new, but feels so good to be training!
