7/4/2021 watercolor/collage as it looked moments ago, after a few hours of work/play
3:05 PM: i’ve been working, or playing as you wish with 7/4/2021 watercolor/collage since my last post 2 hours ago. more and more, I experience these new watercolor/collages as music. and as I write this, a sudden thunderstorm has added to the mix, providing rumbles at the right moment, the sound of wind gusting through the trees, along with an indescribable fragrance. I still have some juice, so i’m going back to work/play & will post at the end of my day here in the studio.
1:00 PM: as i’ve said in previous posts, I like working on two things at the same time, switching back & forth as the mood strikes me. fortunately, there’s no one to tap me on the shoulder & say “hey! you can’t do that!”
so, after making the first fresh marks on the canvas you see BELOW, I started 7/4/2021 watercolor/collage.
it already has a few collaged bits, and will likely acquire more as the day goes on. i’ll post when I get to the next stage of this one, which measure 10 1/2 x 22 in.

making the first marks on the new 7/4/2021 creek oil. 26x78 in.
11:33 AM: my intension was to start a new watercolor/collage this morning, but I found that blank 26x78 in. canvas sitting on the saw horses irresistible. so I launched in, and now that i’ve made the initial brush marks, I feel better about starting the new watercolor/collage.

last night we had fresh caught alaskan halibut smothered in onions & tomatoes, thanks to a friend who just returned from a fishing expedition to homer, alaska.
it was, as you might imagine, delicious. and there’s one more serving left for tonight!

this article appeared in the palm beach daily news during the period when mikela & I lived there. I just found it, & had forgotten that I showed my work at trump plaza. kind of embarrassing.
