Mucking About

Spent a completely contented half hour or so mucking about with color-mixing, palette-knife-wielding, mark-making, oil-pastel scribbling, and paper-crumpling. An efficacious prescription for well-being.

All the World in a Few Square Inches

A few quiet moments of nourishing contentment and absorption this afternoon:

• rounding up a scrap of textured watercolor paper,
• swishing the decisive blade of my paper trimmer to cut the scrap in half,
• gathering paint markers and red gel pen,
• poking around for tidbits of a trimmed painting,
• grabbing a glue stick,
• folding, gluing, writing.

A tiny bit of prep for my Saturday gig at open studios at Porter Mill.
