I'm So Lazy

I've been meaning to do a lot of things lately, but it hasn't really been happening. And considering it's still only May, I'm ok with that.

I'm slowly working my way into the basement and working on it and I even started painting it, as well as started a painting last week. This is my little set up in the corner right now. My mother and I are arguing about the color however... I want this blue, but she wants a light yellow, but it won't go with the floors, so I may compromise with a lighter blue.
I did start one of my "memory paintings" that I want to do, though. I feel it's going to need a few of each, for it to work, but basically I want to take moments--whether they be nostalgic, embarrassing, or important, I want to try to depict the scenery from memory without any references. This painting particularly is the house I used to live in ... downstairs this old woman and old man lived there and I would always go in their apartment and they'd give me a butterscotch candy and I remember the old man always in the living room sitting in his chair and it being really dark. It's only 16 x 20 and it's a pretty simple concept, which is why I think there needs to be more.
