Rough Patch

OK, all the spaces in my Core Values grid now have paint on them.

But several of the patches have served as no more than a convenient place to unload last bits of excess paint from my brush. Shall I leave these rough patches as is or develop them?

Throwing caution to the wind, I decide I'll develop one that thus far has been a respository for pinks, yellows, and oranges:

I mix up a palette, slap new paint on the patch, tear some print collage and affix it, toss some India ink into the mix.

I like it!

But it's a start, not a finish.

Home Away

Cabin C will be home sweet home for a happy week starting August 20.

CAMP!!!

I'll have limited access to wifi and little inclination to avail myself of it.

But … painting at camp in my makeshift cobwebby studio space at the ill-lit back of the musty little Grube Library cabin, overlooking Cass Pond through the trees with morning sunlight filtering through, is so in-the-moment that I hate to think of waiting till after camp to post photos.

Can't tell ya whether I'll post or not.

Camp!!!
