Father's Day

Gene, Happy Father's Day!

I painted yesterday and Gene cut paper for me, then I promptly ruined it. It was some sanded paper I had had for years and I tried an alcohol underpainting on it and it disolved the grit. :( But it must not have been that good to start with. Hmmm. As I recall, it was pretty expensive for the time. Oh well. You always learn something.

This is a small 5 x 7 on navy blue Daler-Rowney paper. I like their bright colors in paper. These are flower pots from Bolivia and I always think they look like the ladies with their babies on their backs, just waiting and talking. You get a glance from the corner of your eye and they look alive. I have done several paintings of them and gave away the ones Gene liked, so here is another.

Have you been watching the College World Series? We are sad that Texas is not there. The games have been something. WOW! Check it out on Joanna's page

The World Cup is on as well. The USA-Italy game was not great. The officiating was awful. :( Go USA!


Later,
