The Beginning of Day 2

PLENAIR IN NIKITSKOYE / SEPTEMBER-1982
*********
Second of September. 10:30 AM - two sketches this morning are already done. It seems to be sunny, the fog has disappeared. I get up in the same place, where was painted a seven-hour sketch: it is interesting to compare the difference between the two states of one morning. The Papuans are beginning to recognize the benefit schedule and sound methodology - if they have begun to recognize the benefit of regular housekeeping! Somehow, breakfast did not have a calling to eat itself! Should, you know, down the hill to the spring for water (there should congratulate ourself on our good choice of location) to fuel a kerosene stove, and - oh, Lord! - to cook something blankly.. . Then - to wash the dishes with soda in the cold river water; serving as washcloth, if I remember correctly, - a coastal grass.
