exercising and art

When I'm not in the mood to run I paint.  I haven't been running much.  I hit my trainer in the basement and pushed it super hard for 5 x 3 min sustained max effort with 2 min rest in between on the bike.  Short and sweet.    I hit the pool today also and did a sprint set, 2 x100, 4 x 50, 4 x 25 all out free style after my warm-up.  Staggered out of the place dizzy with noodle arms. 

One of my latest distractions above.  Looks kind of like Van Gogh huh? 



I've changed this one a little - this was a few weeks ago and I'm still working on the flowers, the stem, and the vase.  Yes, there is a vase down there somewhere in the blue.  This is a Uglow take off.  I went to Hyde Brothers books today and bought two nice books about Cezanne.  I'm digging still life's lately. 

I did this one a couple months ago, not such a great picture - kind of far away - but a pear none the less:






More to come.  I tend to paint it up during the winter months, and then completely stop once spring and good weather returns.  So, I have to get it in while my creativity is present.
