old cotton pants

Maybe it’s time to throw out those ultra comfortable cotton pants that have become ultra comfortable (and thin) because they have been worn and washed for too many years.

disappointed in drawings

I am disappointed in myself because I am not drawing as much as I should be. I see my quick sketching skills going dormant and it is seriously embarrassing to look through my moleskin sketchbook. My line quality has diminished into rough chicken scratches that scream “LACK OF CONFIDENCE”.

I was so fortunate that my entire education was focused on building and growing my skills in art. I shouldn’t let it waste away. The only remedy is drawing constantly and always creating new artwork, so I finished a new quick illustration recently. I have to get back on track!

painting vases

I took the aqua spray paint that I used on the planters in the back yard and painted the vases on one of my bookshelves to brighten them up. I was tired of all the brown on brown.

Before

After, including the large post modern floor lamp that I purchased, and my Audrey Kawasaki “Claudia & the Coelacanth”.

Ah, and we have a new bonsai on the dining room buffet. He looks a lot better than our older bonsai… who might be dying. Damn these little trees, they are not easy to take care of.
