Painting subjects on Day Two

Here I am on day 2 of painting subjects’ week starting out with sneezing bouts, hunger grumblings, and a weird sense of lightness.

Food we digest takes time to process through our bodies. It can take days, weeks even for it all to be sorted out. Changes for me. For 3 weeks +/- Greek yogurt is part of my daily menu. The limit foods I have are mainly plant based. I start my day with spring water, eggs or a banana. Weight loss has been light ( 1 lb.), due to taking it easy for a while. 

The themed weeks will help me move around more as well as reduce stress. I now see food and activity as partners in healthy living. 

Staying with, what I know, selecting common objects as subjects is rather intriguing to me. The spiral notebook has to be included this week. 

The light enhancing the texture showing wear in the cardboard is a challenge. Thinking watercolor feels right. Alas, my masking fluid, I think, is so old, it’s probably gummy by now. Pencil is my first thought. Acrylic, though, will help along the abstract story of the curving metal.
