Here is a watercolour made last year
It was a watercolour study for a digital oil I was hoping to do. And in fact, I've now put it in my 'get to it' folder.
I feel the need now to place a "Trigger Warning" that This image MAY have appeared on the interwebs once before:
after my little 'meltdown' about the hivewatchers
Surely I was possibly being overdramatic
but I do honestly feel that as artists OF COURSE we shall share our same images multiple times. We are our own marketing companies, mostly. And I DO understand copying and pasting over and over the same post is NOT good, but sometimes I feel like when BLANKET rules come up the "baby gets thrown out with the bathwater",
That is to say, when some are bad All are punished.
But, I digress...
It is a lovely day out so here is the sketch for this piece (AGAIN I don't think I've shared it before, but honestly NOT sure)
If I have done, do forgive or REALIZE this is a new concept in which it is being shared. AND, I might add is a prelude to my most likely now doing it up in oil, which is also good for me.
My state is still in a form of lock down
and we are NOT sure when that will be lifted. It has affected me not too greatly as we were never much for going out anyway. Now, restaurants are 'allowed' to have 50% occupance INSIDE whilst a week ago only OUTDOORS.
More retail is opening and the like. Though I live in an area of Summer people, and do have a side gig of Summer rental of my beloved little Cape Cod cottage, it is NOT open for business as phase 2 was too complicated for me to even consider it.
Thus, though it is July it feels as if it is still March and I am 'waiting' for the Summer rental season to begin...and it never does...and the days stretch onward ceaselessly one into another
and I am not completely upset with that.
I hope your part of the world is good and happy
and one wonders what the Autumn shall bring. 2020 is a bit of an odd dream. I keep wondering if I've Pushed too hard on an adjacent reality and slipped into the wrong timeline? Who can say, I've not encountered myself so perhaps there is 'another me' wondering, "Heavens a world without strife and ceaseless rules, how lovely" Ah... I am jealous of that me.
Well this ME says have a lovely day
and I hope all are enjoying whatever form of reality they are currently living.
