Sometimes, It's Just Living

 Maybe it's the summertime or the weather or whatever, but sometimes the days just go by without thinking.  I suppose that's the way it should be (?)  I make little lists for things that I need to do for the next day or so.  Not a log or task tracking, just a wee bit of paper with some items on it that I feel good about lining out.  Got a bunch of things crossed off this week.  

None of the items where fishing!

It rained a few days ago so the creeks and streams will be running high and silty for a few more days.  No fishing in these conditions.

Even got a drawing done that I wanted to do.  What I did not get done is some watercolors.  It keeps getting put on my list but never seems to get lined out.  I'll get back to it one day.  Just need to be in the right mind set.

It's not that we don't have plans, we do, but it's the time in-between plans that is the "Just Living".  Bought some new books on Amazon, ordered an inflatable Kayak from Amazon, waiting for our passports to be renewed and fixing things around our house.  

Just living.

Still Life

 Life is never still, at least I don't think you would want it to be.  That's why so many of us (i.e., retired care free people) travel.  Keep seeing new things and places.   Well the Hurricane so far inland was a new thing and one I would have rather forgone but life is what happens.  Life keeps moving. Except a still life is forever and captures a slice of time frozen in a painting.  This is from a wooden bowl of pears onboard our ship during dinner one nice.  Again, just thought it looked nice. Enjoy.

A Trip Abroad

 Just back from our trip abroad as Asheville continues to recover from the hurricane.  This trip has been planned for a long time and we almost didn't make it because our dog sitting business will be closed for a while. But make it we did and now we are back. We love Amsterdam.  What a fun place to visit.  So many things to too and do there.  The weather was not the best but it did not have an impact on our visit.  Just bundle up. Got some quick painting in while on the boat (i.e., Viking) as we moved from port to port.  This painting is of a garden at a heritage site of windmills.  I thought it looked nice. Nice time on the trip to de-stress from what was happing back home.  We were fine back home but not everything is well with many others.

So THIS is My Style?

 If I play around long enough my style will appear.  I'm guessing that this is kind of it.  I'll keep working on other techniques in watercolor but for now this appears to be my style. I do like it and others appear (to my face) to also like this.  Not every one of my paintings is a success.  About 1/3 so far, but when they do I am rather pleased that anything good comes out of it at all. I do love color.  Color is happy and outdoors is full of color, be it the west or back east with the greens.  Color color color. Also doing some painting on hot press paper and see how that goes. Later......
