Daily Notes- June 28th

Working.  Since this particular work began with a pairing and then the right side was added I decided to add green.  That was the color Jude began the class with. Green for growth.  I have added green to the composition because green is the color opposite red on the color wheel.    I used a yellow green because the red is more of a brown red.  I didn't check to see if I got it right on G's color wheel.  One thing I have--it's a sense of color.  But I have no sense of "when to stop".  There is a faint suggestion of green/growing/beginnings here.  I don't think the work is good.  It's just work.  If it was a canvas I would keep adding paint and then scrap it all off and make it white again.  That's the thing about paint. You can scrap it off.  Start over.  Time and time again.

I stitched the curving lines of green while listening to sport "radio" on tv.  Basketball.  Who should be signed to which Teams.  And there was also a very interesting conversation on light skinned vs dark skinned players of "color".  I hadn't listened to one of those conversation since college.  And it was the girls of color who were doing the discussing when I was in college in the in the mid/1960's.  It was like hearing the words of those young women coming out of the middle aged mouths of sports commentators.

The Soccer begins at 3pm.  USA vs. France.  No plumber.  And the sprinkler is running and G says let it go longer because today is very hot and the plants need a good long drink.  My tomatoes in the Grow Boxes are very green.  Still standing tall on the hot driveway.  I check them twice a day.  As they grow (fingers crossed) I will check them three times a day.

There is arugula in the garden.  We had a few slices of pizza yesterday for late dinner.  I should have gone out to get some of the peppery leaves to add to each slice.  I will do that when we re-heat the left over pieces.

Today is Summer.  84, Sunshine, Blue Skies.  I'll take it and enjoy it.
