12:52 PM: i started watercolor 100, but got interrupted by a friend with a medical emergency, and now we have to leave fo an unexpected trip to salida, so that’s it for today. more when we’re back.
6:15 PM: just back from salida, where we picked up the new studio door molding which will be installed tomorrow afternoon. it’s been a cooler than usual day, so salida, generally much warmer than crestone/baca, was pleasant. it may have been a good thing that i was interrupted in my process of painting watercolor 100. it has an interesting boldness/freshness. and a rather daring, for me, combination of colors.
tomorrow morning i’m giving my strained groin a rest to let it heal, and mikela will walk by herself while i bring my watercolors, little table and stool to a spot at the very beginning of the trail, where i’ll paint until she returns. that will give me about 1 1/2 hours; perfect for making a few watercolors. in case the mosquitoes are bothering me, i’ll bring my netted mosqioto jacket. it’s a little awkward, but i’ve done it before.
