Starting a new painting is my favorite part of the process

I started a new painting yesterday afternoon, which is always the most exciting part of the process. So much possibility, the excitement of laying down the first brave colors. I worked some more on it today, before heading out to an opening reception for an exhibition at the Salmagundi Club.  I've added it to Works in Progress.  The painting of the view from my studio is still too wet to go back into it, especially where there's a lot of white, e.g. in the clouds. Titanium White is one of the slowest drying colors.
