Weekly reflections on learning experience: This has been a singularly unsatisfactory month’s effort. In fact, it seems I have found it difficult to maintain a sustained effort for almost three months; multiple factors, including an extended vacation, health problems, two almost-unprecedented periods of severe winter weather, and pressing family obligations, have seriously affected not only my work, but my will to work. I am unhappy with the apple project: it somewhat resembles an apple, but a rather muddy-looking one. It has been useful in that I have learned a little more about handling acrylics, but I think that I will paint a second one, hoping to do better.
