Onward incorporating some Sahli method

Here's the group of artists that attended the Don Sahli workshop with me, far right in the gloves.  What a great group!  Don is 3rd from left and I learned so much from him.  He shared his palette; his knowledge about the impressionistic kind of painting that was done by his teacher, Sergei Bongart; his way of setting up a still life painting with everyday objects (shapes, i.e. blocks, cylinders, rounds).

So today is Sunday.  I've had my breakfast and enough coffee so am in my art room piddling around in an effort to get started.  I'm leaning toward taking an abstract painting I did of Papa and DJ and fiddling with the values since after the acrylics dried, I lost some of my value concept as the underneath darker painting began to show through.  Onward and upward.
