I've started work on some quick abstract paintings for a friend's cafe - at this stage, I've applied impasto with a palette knife to get a textured ground, and started with the first layers of colours. Abstracts are more about feeling and mood - the genre was based on the idea that the end result should not resemble anything in life, instead describing emotion and thought, and thus abstract constructions.
In the meantime, Isis became overconfident in her healing limbs, and overdid it with the happy terrier act. Being the terribly conscientious sort, she was rather embarrassed by the fact that she set her therapy back and now has to work with a walking sling again....
