Art is hard when you don't feel well

The first thing I made yesterday was a page for a new art piece I'm working on. I actually botched it at first and had to use different material. It's a good thing I was able to place the material over a section of the glued area, or I would have really been in a bad way. I really love this piece, so don't want to mess it up.

It never fails. Things never go well when I don't feel well. I was sick about the piece I made in the morning and early afternoon. I must have painted the fleur de lis on before the piece was completely dry, then drew words on the back. As a consequence, the piece tore right in the middle of the fleur de lis.

I tried to draw words on the back and they either weren't dry or I had too much paint on the page. I was sick about this great piece, but it is now in the trash.

So I started a second piece, this time waiting between takes. This is purple fluid acrylic, with tiny bits of gold fluid acrylic mixed in.

The second step has gold and purple fluid acrylics.

I did not feel like eating, but my dear friend Sally wanted to go to lunch. In fact, I planned to pay, but she insisted on paying since I felt so rotten. Although I normally love to eat, my stomach was not up to the task. In fact, I couldn't eat all my quiche or my fattuche.

Maybe art and food will both sound better later or possibly tomorrow.
