Uncertain

 Remember, in the days of yore, when we would physically flip a calendar page for the new month? I used to print calendars and send them to family and friends as Christmas gifts. The early versions were of my paintings. Later, I switched to my photos. And then there were calendars from your bank, insurance guy, auto mechanic, sports/swimsuit/naked lady issues. 


On this July 1, I'll symbolically turn the calendar page.


BTW, no flags for me this weekend, no stars, no stripes. but that's another post.

Windblown

When I checked the porch this morning after last nights storm, I found this tiny leaf had been blown in from somewhere.

Last Friday in June

We're rapidly sliding into July. Where did June go? 


Sink Shots




This is my latest watercolor test paper. I use them to see what the color actually looks like on watercolor paper, before putting it on the actual work-in-progress. When I looked at it, I saw a bird. I added the eye.

Unencumbered

"Not having any burden or impediment"



I am trying to paint in a more loose style, instead of trying to get a photographic representation. It isn't as simple as it sounds but I'm enjoying the effort. My early paintings were filled with detail. Now, I'm attempting to 'suggest' color, shapes, the thing. Whatever it is. 



Long ago
