2:31 PM:today started out with snow at about 4am and the temperature hovering just below freezing. not at all unheard of here in crestone/baca. curently it’s 53F and probably won’t get much warmer. tomorrow it will start warming back up to normal levels: lower to mid 70’s. but when we leave the house at 6:30 tomorrow, it will be about 38F and we’ll have warm jackets.
watercolor 86 at 2:30pm
today i made a new small format watercolor: watercolor 86, 10 x 13". something is brewing, which hasn’t quite matured yet, but there are elements, like my use of blues, greens and greys that are developing. branches appear increasingly as negative white spaces, and water is hinted at with bold green or blue strokes with mottled white spots equaling frothiness. the central siena rock shape is one i had misgivings about from the moment it emerged. so i may make a variation on this one tomorrow, minus that rock.
