Another watercolor of mine. My teacher liked the white cloth more than the squash. Layered watercolor. I am usually the wet in wet sort of painter but with these 'botanical" assignments we had to do layers.
I had 6 different page prompts for my morning pages this week. Reasons why I don't make art. Out of 7 days I pulled "procrastination" 4 times. Money once. Family twice. My parents could have named me Procrastination. I bring this up--because for most of the last 50 years or so, I said I would paint when................. fill in anything you might think of. I've used so many excuses.
Goodwill today. One men's shirt in a washed out green linen. One dollar. To cut up. One "vintage sizing" pink and white gigantic cotton men's shirt that I happily paid $6 for. I will be wearing it every day. Light, loose and pink and white stripe. If we had a beach where I would walk in the water--- this would be the shirt over the bathing suit. It is everything Summer. I also purchased a very vibrant remnant of woven mango, raspberry, blue and red and gold. $2. No idea why but it made me smile.
I went looking for a soft worn thin cotton sheet-white. I will ask the Universe again.
Riley has slept all night for the past two nights. Melatonin. I read up on it some more and I can give a dog his size 3 capsules. Two seems to do the trick right now. I have read that success with this natural sleep aide is not always the case. I am thankful that, in Riley's case, we have managed to give him some rest. Very thankful.
The walk was good today. 62 and cloudy. We did the 1.5 mile path. Riley got to wade into three different pools of water. Not deep enough for him to swim yet. He loves to swim.
Watched the new Hallmark movie--Paris/wine/love-something like that. They went for a walk and there was Notre Dame. Whole. I started to cry.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that Riley is doing much better with the meds and you and G are getting sleep too!
