2:41 PM: mikela is in center, (about 45 minutes drive south) & I can’t get to the kiosk in time to get my favorite bread from everett, a local baker who makes the bread the same morning & sells out within 1/2 hour. so I asked our friend Suzanne who, with her husband sells fruit & veggies at the kiosk every thursday to buy me a loaf & i’ll pay her back when we go in to shop this afternoon.
after making significant changes to my home page (see my earlier post below), which i’m excited about, I decided to launch back in to 8/2/2021 creek oil. the upside down paddling figure was kind of fun, but it was getting old, and the painting just wasn’t working anymore. so I spent time collaging off white paper over the red-headed kid and drawing him right side up. i’ll start using color tomorrow; i’m too wiped out right now to do any more.
what I did thus far is already making a big difference, and the painting works better already, even though it’s still just off-white paper with a scant drawing of the second paddling figure. but I have to be in my morning energy to take it to the next step.

11:30 AM: this morning I made modifications to my HOME PAGE, which you will recall, I was working on yesterday. I learned how to make all 9 images on the page click-through, so if you click on any of them, it takes you immediately to the relevant page. I added a small photo of myself. and I switched out all the images I had yesterday, so that they are more arresting and incline you to want to learn more by clicking on them.
