Not exactly grapes of wrath, but grapes that were bad and needed to be thrown out. I sketched on the porch yesterday. I was irritated at two things. I forgot to put out the flag and I'm not happy with the color on my sketch. I really like green and purple and got green and black. Neither was what I had in mind. I think my water brushes are dirty up where they connect to the water. I will run some alcohol through them and see if that works to clean them.
Number 2 fruit - some grapes I was putting in the compost. They were not looking their best. The sketch is in the Canson Mixed Media large sketchbook, half a page. I used an Ohuhu 0.2 yesterday and added the watercolor this evening.
There is an exhibit that sounds super. It is in Houston and up until February as I recall at the Museum of Fine Arts. It is watercolors, Light and Air, by Winslow Homer on loan from Boston. Info here:

Say a little prayer for Gene, he is not doing well. Thanks.
