Went home for lunch and worked on the big Digging Up Billy painting. Worked about an hour then came back to the office.
While I was in Mexico I was inspired by a couple of painting studies I actually did before I left. Here's the first one, which was salvaged from my reject pile:

This led to the line, "It fell out of the sky and landed atop Skull Mesa". From there I whipped out this image:
