Addendum #2: Coffee Cup

In the middle of my current painting project, I ran out of paint storage containers.

I meticulously save excess colors that I've mixed, so I can work on the same piece across multiple sessions. Now that most of the paintings corresponding to these shades are complete, it is time for a massive clean-out. 

But like any normal person, I have a deep-seated need to keep archives and general reluctance to get rid of things. For example, my biggest pet peeve is for meeting coordinators at work to delete the entire series of calendar invites when recurring meetings end. It destroys the record of past meetings that were linked to the series. Every time this happens, I just go into a corner to fume silently because I'm the only one who cares.

This is crazy behavior. But I digress. Using up these excess paints is mildly uncomfortable, but thankfully outweighed by the satisfaction of having clean jars. (And I have to do it regardless of how I feel anyway.)

This Addendum painting turned out quite nice, with all the pretty colors of past paintings. I like this series!
