4/22/19 plein air drawing 7

5:23 PM: i wasn’t up for painting today. maybe because i went to town this morning to shop for some food we needed and go to the p.o. plus i made a bunch of logistical call, setting up doc appointments and so on.

so i just surrendered to not doing any painting, and instead focused on getting the two watercolor/collages framed and ready for the bouilder show, opening 3/27. i’ll post pics of the framed pieces in a bit; i have to photograph them.

yesterday i discovered a very small drawing pad containing quick plein air creek drawings i made back in 2018. the marks in these little drawings are precursors to the marks you’ll see in my current watercolor/collages and oils.
