What a day, what a day.
Maybe I should start by telling you about my night. We got home late from NYC and everyone dove into bed. Three hours later I hear someone screaming bloody murder. It was my son. He’s been sick all week and it finally culminated with a terrible earache. 12pm,2am,4am and 6am, I had to rock him to sleep as the pain medicine kicked in.
So let’s just say neither of us slept much. My son spent today sleeping.
…but I didn’t. We had a huge family pizza party instead! Four generations of my husband’s family gathered today which is a big deal. My husbands brothers live in different states and it gets harder and harder to get everyone in the same place at the same time. Post Christmas and Post Thanksgiving seem to be working best and really it is so much less stressful. You get to gather without the pomp and circumstance, which allows everyone to be themselves.
It was a very nice day. A very busy day. A very loud day!
Which brought me to the end of the evening. Bags under my eyes and flat-out tired.
Not the best working conditions for art making, but I forged ahead. I had painted a little this morning and finished up tonight.
I think this is it for faces. I’m done. Finito. No more-o!
We have more family here tomorrow. Hopefully my son will sleep through the night tonight and I will figure out what I am going to do tomorrow…tomorrow!
Good night!

There’s nothing worse than an ear infection. I used to have them all the time as a kid and then again last year as an adult. I literally started to cry at school because the pain came on so quickly and with such force. On the way home the ear drum ruptured and I did literally scream from the pain. Hope your son is feeling better and that you can get some well needed rest. I’m impressed that you’ve been able to keep up with your art. All the best in the New Year.
