beat but complete

under a cloud, 12 X 12, oil and acrylic on canvas

This week marks the first week of summer for me.

I plan on putting a lot more focus

into my painting this month

(before vacationing in June and August).

Rather than being run dry by my teaching job, collapsed on the couch on a Friday night, I am more complete tonight (still collapsed on the couch) knowing I have made more strides towards my vision this week.

There definitely are different shades of exhaustion.
