Yesterday morning, however, I experienced a moment of grace when I realized I could choose to do "background" painting if I wanted—maybe a wall, or a sky.
No more than that.
I could paint nothing. No thing.
In my studio later I taped five scraps of watercolor paper to a flat surface, opened my stay-wet palette, and used the paints I found there. I tried out a new brush. I used a painting knife. I painted on dry. I painted on a coat of wet gloss medium.
Now I have five new bookmarks to hold my place in all the books I'll read on vacation.
