I'm having a fantastic day so far! Just feeling really good. I slept well last night despite H's snoring. I jogged this morning but cut it short because the heat & humidity was so bad. I'm very happy I listened to my body and came in when I needed it. I got inside and checked the outside temp, and it was 82F with 86% humidity and a feels like temp of 90F and not even 7 AM yet! Even for here, that is awful heat so early in the morning

I had my usual morning. My book is getting really good and I almost finished it. Painting went well. I wanted to do an easy picture because I'm going to the library after lunch, and I didn't want to have my painting still going then. Anyway, it was more a study of controlling the paints to get the effect I wanted, so tightly controlled watercolors but still in control of the wet-on-wet steps in the book using tube paints, controlling those areas where I wanted less & more pigment. The final effect turned out the way I wanted, mimicking the final pic in the book quite well. Still some tiny bits to touch up with white gouache but not too bad.
