Field Notes- Friday August 19th. Another Damp Foggy Morning.


 Mary Shley-Spiral.  I like this art work but the one slice of white with dots is why it's here this morning. I am thinking of making a shape and dividing it and using my color sticks and making something like this. Just for me.  I haven't applied waxy color to paper in quite awhile.

All the Art is from Something- I think it was also known as Little Somethings (in the sidebar).  I started reading this blog years ago- when she worked as an illustrator and designer.  She made such lovely things.  I think her job was eliminated and she did other things for awhile at the same location and then- as things go in "business"-- she was eliminated.

I think- most of you out there reading this--have been "eliminated" at work for some reason over the years. It's a pretty normal thing for women.  And now it's getting to be a normal thing for men as well.  Down Size Ing.  But she is still looking for art and I love going and seeing what she has found.

Husband cut the Willow down.  Anyone- who has garden experience- should never plant a willow anywhere near water lines.  Willows love water.  And this one was getting heavier and taller with each year.  So it came down and was cut up and then the taller branches were tied with rope and dragged behind the riding mower to the Way Way Back of the property and piled onto the composting pile back there.

Husband was pretty much on zero by this time.  So he ate and then had a slice of carrot cake ( from the grocery bakery) and watched tv.  I was thankful "no one" got hit in the head with a heavy willow branch- knocked unconscious and needing a ride in an ambulance.  Thankful.
