Count down

Number of times I cursed the wind this week: five.

Number of times Pono woke us up last night (having eaten a rabbit carcass and gotten diarrhea): four.

Number of fig bars I  had to eat to work up the courage to go in the studio today:  three.

Number of hummingbirds I was distracted by today:  two.
Number of paintings I completed today:  one.  (wimpy!)
A recent monotype, where I inked the whole plate and wiped away anything that didn't look like roadrunner. 

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Switching to watercolor


A Fun Photo of Pono in the driver's seat of the Vanogan! He loves the "Gordita"! Oh, and I will post some photos of the VW interior soon, for Priya.

We have been working on landscaping the front courtyard for the past week. We bought gravel and flagstone, and we are trying to make it look pretty. Don't worry, you will have before and after shots. Just not today, because I am too tired to get them off my camera and post them. Flagstone is heavy. Oh, and also I think part of my problem is that I started running again yesterday, after a hiatus due to Denver trips and a hurt foot. So that is also contributing to my fatigue. Why am I telling you all of this? Because I felt that it was important I posted a bit more frequently on my blog, and this is what is on my mind right now.

Rather than more of this whining, I will post a photo of a new watercolor I completed last week. I did several, but I believe this is my favorite one. I find it interesting how I always return to watercolor at some point. I started with watercolor (the first painting I ever did was watercolor), so maybe it just feels like home.
More soon.
