turns out he was right all along...

i could've easily stayed in bed until noon but the day is waiting and i've got stuff to do.

as i made coffee, i checked in on all the work i did to my canvas yesterday and OH she is gorgeous! the work looks so much different, so much more refined once it's dry. i don't think there's much left to be done. i'm going to lug her outside and stare at her. stare and wait.

yesterday, i learned how to use the loathed fan brush. i've always hated that damn brush because of it's bob ross, happy little trees connotation. but damn that brush is awesome! i was completely wrong about it. it is the perfect tool for smoothing lines and working in dry-brush. just amazing. a total eureka moment. i called my buddy mike who i've gone back and forth with about the ridiculousness of this brush and conceded victory to him. he was... IS right. that crazy, annoying, happy little trees brush worked wonders for me yesterday. teach me to never second guess good ol' bob again, god rest his soul.
