Still No Joy

This is only day 5 of the challenge and I feel I am rushing to get something done and only creating pooh. I think my answer to this is post progress on what I am working on otherwise this will turn into a lost month for me.  I have shows that I would like to enter but I need to get to some decent work.....Still thinking this thru.

This is about 13"x 9" on UART.While I like the feel of the paper, I do not like the texture that shows through the paint.
