My Focuser is Broken (Again)

Today was very hot but it didn't rain.

After running some errands I went down to Rockaway to paint.

Being on the beach on a Saturday is not my favorite thing, especially the bus ride back.

***********

I can't paint these days.

I don't know if it's my crap mental health or the thing that happens where I forget how to paint for a little while because I'm indexing a lot of information.

(I absorbed a lot last fall and earlier this year and was painting a LOT...)

So I don't know what's causing my slump but it's still good I got out.

I have completely lost my mojo.

Pebbles is also on my mind (in addition to Other Things) and there is like maybe a 15 % chance I won't be able to go through with Thursday. It has not fully hit me at all and I have avoided thinking about it.

I have stopped all her treatment except pills.

She eats the regular food because she doesn't like her $$$ novel protein food anymore.

But really the big thing is I can't isolate her, she's miserable.

Which is probably contributing to the peeing.....

Anyhow here is a painting that lacks focus and is a little too chromatic from what I was intending:

8x10 oil, around Beach 120th.
