10/24/21 creek drawing
5:44 PM: we took our creek walk a few hours ago, and i made this drawing at a rock we stopped at next to the creek.
1:19 PM: sometime next week, once my storage room is complete, my studio will begin to return to normal, but with a lot more space. in the mean time, I have plenty of logistical stuff to get done, but I always like to start the day with a drawing. so I set up my folding plain air table in the midst of the chaos that is currently my studio interior, and made a drawing of my tool drawer; a favorite subject for pen & ink drawings, as I love the shapes of those tools!
we’ll be walking up the trail about 3pm, so I have an hour & a half to delve into stuff I need to take care of, which i’m about to do.
3 days ago was the last day the temporary construction crew was working before my trusted guy comes back on Monday from an unexpected trip he had to take. they cut the hole for the door leading to the studio on the outside wall, but left the inside wall opening until the structure is completely walled & sealed, so mice can’t get in. in the mean time, I poured a bunch of moth balls at the base of that opening to keep the mice away till they can close the structure in. bad idea. my studio reeked of mothballs! so I swept them away & am using baking powder to absorb the odors.
