scissors and spots

Feeling much better today - was sick with a very nasty cold - fever for a week - a daily parade of symptoms - temperature is normal now (97.8F is normal for me) - painted today - drew - worked in the woods breaking down the ancient basswood that fell in last weekend's storm - feeling much better now - but with very little voice to speak of/with.

These spots remind me a little of Damien Hirst's spot paintings.  The plan for my spots is to meld with some other shapes to create just the right background for this hanging scissors.  Next comes many little vertical rectangles within the spots, then the scissors will appear, then many little horizontal rectangles will go within the spots and then, finally, a wash to marry everything.  That's the plan - anyway.
