Yesterday, sunrise pasted me into my chair with iPad in lap. Yippee!

IPad painters are a somewhat goofy group where I fit, I think. Yesterday’s sunrise.

Ink splotches with coffee

This my best effort today, fooling around with my beloved fountain pens and ink on some plate finish paper. I like this design so it may become a grownup painting. This sketch is just 4″ by 4″ or so.

Life is better than it has been. PTSD in a loved one is a constant balancing act.

The end for today

Still here

Rough couple weeks here. Our 1992 Chevy blew its power steering pump, thankfully at a good time. We got home. A couple rides from our best friends and Dana (my personal hero and spouse) was able to fix it.

My hero spouse saved Christmas. We missed a Solstice party, but celebrated that day here with venison stew I had made for the party.

I kicked myself into the studio and painted. While wet below

I was working on Yupo, a plastic paper like surface. The color floats.

Second day photo when dry. It certainly followed its own paths

Easy b/w challenge today

It’s still snowing here at, oh, about an inch an hour. I am eternally grateful for having been the one to make sweet potato pies. We will survive!

Saturday blue, but I had a b/w assignment

An old friend has challenged me to a week of black and white.
Easy.
Black, night.
White, snow

So I painted with a wonderful Pilot refillable brush pen and coffee because I had coffee.

Then I removed the color.

Today was Friday. Still gray, but

What a sunrise!

Wow, I have followers?

In here in our snow globe, it is gray. So here’s an iPad painting to brighten up your world

Indian summer, one day here…

I painted this watercolor outside Tuesday and had a lot of fun. Monday and Tuesday morning had been difficult.

I complete abandoned any thoughts, images….
Never mind. I turned my hurting brain off and painted. The result is completely non-objective.

My brain hurts now.

painted hickory leaves redux

nice enough this morning to get out the door just as the sun went in, but that counts too.

Golden Qor watercolor and Golden high flow acrylics. I hope they dry shiny. On Arches 140lb paper.

Sunday edition shows more drying and nice shiny leaves of acrylic paint.

Another sunny day! Where am I?

Today, mid-October I painted the beginning of a watercolor while looking at the magnificent hickory tree in front of me. Woo hoo!

Tomorrow is the last time, promise

Tomorrow is the second and last chance for you to see the Cazenovia Art Trail! I am having a real nice time with some artists I know and meeting some new ones. I am hurting a little less so am psyched for tomorrow.

One more peek

A little digital painting like one I did paint in watercolor. Only available online at a site not yet determined to use.

Good night, all.
