Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced.

 My initial intention when I started this blog was to show my works as I progressed.  This one was pretty far along when my patrone reminded me of this original objective.  So here we go! There is just a quick underpainting on the leaves and the pot so far ~ lots of glazing still left to be done.  Also, since this is a pretty simple composition I am tempted to put something else in it.  And, as usual, I will attempt to keep some of my strokes loose.  Already I can see myself tightening up on the leaves ~ small progress on the pot.  Relax, relax, relax.
