Painting again, finally

Acrylics in the 6x8 inch Strathmore #2.  Hoping this will be sketchbook #17.  I've put together a 6-compartment acrylic palette of 5 colors.  Maybe having it in easy reach will encourage little quickies like these.

Last page of SMASH#1

Damn, I never intended to buy another SMASH book again because I made a couple of my own mixed media books by recycling a couple of my half-used wirebound notebooks.  But I was at Michaels yesterday looking for something small to buy so I can get a 40% off coupon for a larger purchase.  There in the bargain racks was another SMASH book of the same size for $5, wow!  There is no plastic cover or pen--so what?  New one has photo pockets.
