Got a dose of the touristas on Sunday morning. Stayed close to the bedroom most of the morning. Did try and whip out the painting, but didn't get far.
Meanwhile, did a phoner last week with an intern at Arizona Highways. That led to this:
The PG Version of an X-Rated Life
You'll notice I say a "GP version" of an X-rated life in the interview, but that is only because I am a tib dyslexic.
Got up this morning at six and got out on the road by 6:15, just in time to catch this:
Morning Glory On Ratcliff Ridge
Actually, that is morning glory on the ridge and morning glories at the bottom, so, dueling morning glories?
Came back and bailed into the finish on the gift guide doubletruck. Had to stop at 9:15 for a radio interview on Trucker Radio. Finished the painting at 9:50 and headed in to the office.
Daily Whipout: "Home Safe"

Daily Whipout: "Heading Home (in progress)"
Of course, I had lots of reference spread out for these paintings:
Piles and piles of art reference for holiday gift guide painting
