So I got up, checked my email and then had a look at the previous night's artwork. Immediately started touching up a few details on the various paintings. By 7:30 I'd worked on four paintings. And of course there were plenty more needing my attention; I've always got a few paintings on the go, but lately the numbers have ramped up considerably.
Kept chipping away at the artwork all day, other than for a couple hours when I took a break and went down to the beach.
At the end of a 19-hour day, I'd lavished my attention on 17 paintings. No errors or missteps, no regrets. The creativity and the paint flowed, despite how jittery I was from sleep deprivation. Not a day I'd necessarily want to repeat, but the results speak for themselves:

Amazing work, really; that sleep deprivation didn't keep you off your game, that's clear. These paintings look as if you managed to capture light itself on canvas.
I liked the "no missteps, no regrets" comment. How often do we try to make something just a bit better, only to have it turn a lot worse! Glad it didn't happen.
