Today was a perfect day. I love perfect days -- they make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Rachel and Will came over yesterday and spent the night so today Rachel stayed and painted with me. It's such a wonderful feeling to stand in front of a canvas almost all day without any pressing assignments to complete. :) The weather outside was nice and breazy, so we had all the windows open. I always paint better when the weather is nice (not quite sure why). So anyway, I've almost finished my 2 year old reproduction of a girl in a field of flowers by Waterhouse (this goes on my record of oil paintings nearing completion). Rachel, on the other hand, has just about finished this enormouse portrait that took her all of three painting sessions. I used to try and catch up to her, but now I've reconciled myself to being a slow painter for the rest of my painting days. On that happy note...

2 more days until another sister gets married.

20 days until we take off for Europe.
