I Showed Up for Work.

There's a saying.  "Inspiration is for amateurs,  professionals show up for work".  Well, after our workshop here I was tired an felt uninspired.  I tried to paint the landscape and struggled.  It really takes the wind out of my sails.  I said to myself to get out to the studio, show up for work.  So I did.  The goal was to do just that.  I painted from images on my computer and made sure there was a figure in there.  Here are the results.  I would still like to be more "David Park-esque" or " Elmer Bischoff-esque" .  But at least I showed up for work.
