		<description><![CDATA[I have been swamped with real life "stuff" ... plus quitting smoking ... I have not really had [or made] the time to even blog or paint at all the last few weeks ... last week I found myself with  an extra fifteen minutes in the morning before time to rush out the door ... I have no idea how that happened ... usually I am rushing around that much late getting out the door ... Miss Sugar Plum must have done her business right away instead of wandering around for half an hour as she normally does every morning ... she likes to go outside but she usually takes her own time at taking care of business ... I get to see a variety of different cloud formations every morning though and enjoy the changing light on the buildings.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I bought a Walter Foster book "Marine Life with Wyland" ... in reading it, he paints using acrylics, not watercolors ...
