Hey there bluesky, I finally painted something. It isnt anything technically impressive but its taken me a good long time to get to just opening a tube of paint so I'm proud of my self regardless. Lilac, oil on canvas 51x61cm (I think 20x24in)

German Parliamentary elections are in one month. Theyll be on Sunday Feb 23.

German Parliament is debating dissolving the current govt in closed session atm

Its amazing to me that ppl are able to find humor rn, I feel completely cut off from hope. I'm happy for them, I just dont get it.

*Sigh*

Slow and steady

Painting again :))

Is this better? I cant really tell. Taking something that big and making it a couple inches big is tricky. Anyhow, I decided on Keffelteich for a name Oil on canvas 30x40in

I need to take a better picture, all the colors and values are off in artificial light but I've had such a lovely 2 days finishing this big gal. Sleeping normally for the first time in months. Yet untitled 30x40in I think Oil on stretched canvas

Finally back working on this guy

Trying to develop a work uniform because getting dressed in the morning is so mentally exhausting. It either takes me 2 hours to get ready or I risk an anxiety attack trying to rush it.

Progress report: essentially done. I'll keep working on it over the coming week but the changes will be mostly imperceptable.

Today's progress

Christening the new Biergarten table

Progress today. Bluesky is the only place I'll be posting this since its a surprise present.

This session is going very well still but I'm having to dig paint out from under the skin on the color swatches so I might have to re-mix colors on Monday

I'm really happy with my progress today. Still tons to be done but whats new?

So tired I dont even have the energy to be petty to my annoying neighbor

All I got done today was the top of this tower. Trying to do all the jobs at once doesnt work very well. I end up doing all of them badly.
