the title says everything there is to know about this wonderful little watercolor...

the great cataloging...

as i sort through and find paintings that i have not yet photographed i have made a few observations...
1. some of them were not photographed for a reason. that reason is usually because i think they are horrible paintings and should never been seen by anyone. that said, i'm going to photograph them anyway as they have brought me to where i am today. (once photographed though, they are completely at the mercy of the brush and chance getting a fresh face...)
2. i have come across a few works that have never been numbered. actually there are quite a few on paper that have never been signed, dated or numbered. some of my favorite works (past and present) are on paper (like number 58 here) so i'll soon go back and number all of them. that'll probably take me way over the 600 mark.
3. i found the folder of my works from my first painting class with eula. that's going to be so much fun to sort through and compare to my current stuff. a before and after fete!
4. this great cataloging project is really a lot of work, but i'm enjoying every minute. documenting my paintings, finding old gems, and working back through the years up to the present.

spring

it was a nice day today. beautiful sunny spring day. 60s probably. not warm enough for me to sit naked out in the grass, but apparently you enjoyed it. the grass is nice and lush due to all the rain we've been having (a nice change from the drought don't you agree?) there were a few clouds late in the afternoon, you could almost touch them if you stretched far enough. i hope to see you enjoying the weather again soon...

listening to This American Life

you love curling up with a good story. sometimes it's a book, sometimes it's your favorite radio show, sometimes a friend has a good story to tell. on this particular rainy day, you find your favorite chair and catch up on your favorite podcasts of This American Life. enjoy.

and here's a painting of you sunbathing. you really enjoy the contrast of your orange blanket and your favorite blue swimsuit. now that it's sort of spring again, i imagine you'll be out catching rays more often. see you soon.

thanks for being patient
