watercolor/collage 137 19 1/4x 19 1/4” stage 1
watercolor/collage 136 after a few minor changes.
2:44 PM: i made a few small changes to 136 and started 137. in 137, for the first time in this series, i used watercolor to paint directly on the acid free mounting board
1:07 PM: after making numerous additions to this one, i was, as often happens, shocked by how much was going on. everything i added seemed to be competing for attention. BELOW you can see what i mean, on the left. and on the right, the current state.
time to have a slice of leftover pizza and contemplate my next moves.
8:43 AM: last night at dinner i tried one of the 4 new brews mikela got for me while i was at the dentist in boulder a few days ago: a double ipa called king sue by toppling goliath brewing, out of decorah, iowa. i liked it a lot; here’s one of the many reviews written oct.7 in beer advocate, which gave it a score of 100!
4.96/5 rDev +7.4%
look: 4.75 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 5
Looks great, opaque and medium gold. Smells of orange and mango. Tastes the same with a little bit of grapefruit and a slightly bitter finish. Massively juicy with the finish to bring you back to earth. Makes my top 10, probably my top 5.
today will be our last unusually warm day before the cold & snowy weather hits tomorrow night into monday. i’ll be in my studio in a few hours and we’ll see what’s in store. i’m liking what i did yesterday more and more as i gaze at it here in the house. that curved ink mark relly works.
it should go up to about 65 this afternoon, when we’ll take another walk up cottonwood at about 3-ish.
