Out of focus for a bit

I feel like I have been doing too many random things and not doing anything. I haven't had any space of time to focus on one thing. My workspace is small and it's been taken up by making books and making gelli prints. I've not drawn and barely held a paintbrush.

I made this painting last night when I was camping at the Pokegama Dam Corps of Engineers site. They have lots of RV sites and two small tent sites off on the side of the road by the canoe launch. I couldn't sleep and I had brought my gouache paints and a few brushes and one sketchbook that I had used in Roz's textures and backgrounds class. I couldn't figure out what to do with the gaudy yellow over pink background and as it was dark anyway, I started drawing on it then got the paint out and started painting. I sort of knew where the colors were in my paint box and not exactly. I fixed it a bit today in the daylight but not much.

I hope a week in Alaska and then a week at Shinrin Yoku camp helps me find my focus again,

The cool thing about gouache paint is that if I really hate this in a couple of days, it will wash off! I can run it under the sink faucet and it will go away!
