Diptych/ daisies-in progress /fingers

You are probably wondering why I posted my diptych and my fingers in the same post, eh? Well, it's to offer an explanation. Both of my plein air paintings are unbearable/un-postable today. Sob. So I am posting the diptych that is in process.
And my fingers... well that's to show you I finally went to the doctor. Two nails on the right ( my painting hand) refuse to grow back. They are past the quick and each time I paint I saw the nail bed down some more. No more details please. Well my doctor's advice was to stop painting with pastels for now. Not an option. We compromised and I am wearing bandaids on both fingers. (I detest gloves!) They are cumbersome at best.
Tomorrow is another day.

Today was a day of socializing and selling my work at my school's Fall Bazaar. Thank you to all the wonderful, supportive parents and enthusiastic young artists (children) of Lowell School who stopped by to chat. Finally when my day was done, it was time to paint. After looking at many of my field paintings all day, I had this one on my mind.
