Last week was a particularly busy week with little time for painted musings from the gods. I have a few things started but nothing finished. One thing this blog has forced me to do is actually finish my pieces. I had a habit of abandoning them way too quickly. This is one from last year. It happens to be hanging near the front door and always gets a reaction from visitors. Some people are drawn to it and others are disturbed. My mother in particular shudders every time she sees it. I have jokingly offered to make her something similar, and she begs me not to. I explained to her that not everything is "pretty", although this is one of my favorites, and I find it to be beautiful.
