Worked on the middle ground of Landscape 3. Saved the paint to do more work on this painting tonight or tomorrow. My eyes get tired after an hour or two which isn’t the worst thing. I just take a break or quit.

Worked on everything except the background of Still Life 2. The next session will be mainly the background and bottle plus some work on all other areas of the painting. The apples, plate, and cup need some work. This painting will be finished soon.

Worked on the middle ground and foreground and the lower right sky of Landscape 4. Two or three more sessions and this painting will be finished. The sky is not intended to be realistic. Clouds don’t act this way.

Painted the middle and foreground of Landscape 6 to get it all roughed in and get rid of the white. It will take a few more sessions to finish this painting.

Worked on all of the middle and foreground of Landscape 7 and did a little work on the clouds. I probably need to paint the middle and foreground two more times.

Worked on the linen of Still Life 3. Will probably paint the linen one more time in a couple of days before letting it dry for a week or two before glazing the linen.

Worked on the linen of Still Life 5. In January I should start finishing some paintings.
I’m creating a menu item “Finished Paintings”.

Yesterday I bought a pair of readers at CVS so I can do a little painting and reading until I get new prescription glasses. They work ok.
Worked on the gray underpainting of Still Life 3. Afterward, I put drops of oil on the blobs of paint so I will be able to use them on the other still-life paintings for the next couple of days without mixing new paint. I’ll paint the linen in this painting one or two more times, let it dry, and then cover all of the linen with a glaze of Transparent Brown Oxide which is a Winsor and Newton color. After that glaze, I’ll have to repaint the glass bottles and finish everything up.
