Pre-Summer Slump

I have been in the process of drawing a cow for about 3 weeks. It is a big one...18x24 pastel of a big rust-colored cow grazing by a river on top of a green hill. Normally I can knock one of these out in a long day, or maybe 2. Why is this cow taking me so long? I blame it on a pre-summer slump. Spring rush of art shows and end-of-year preschool activities coming to a close make me tired, and the heat outside makes me lazy. My to-do list has gotten lost and I just poked around the house today, with half-intentions to get myself together. Ah, but alas, the approaching summertime heat and cold mint sweet tea call to me and I just get stuck in the middle, between productivity and relaxation. I suppose I should pick one. I'll let you know which I choose. Too bad summer doesn't mean "break" anymore!

(If I could, here is what I would choose. Ahh, the days when we had so few responsibilities)
