With so much available electronically, I sometimes think I could spend even more time with my computer. Connections are ever expanding and hopeful.
I just saw George Butler's movie Roving Mars about the Voyager and the making of the trip to Mars, or trips, really. Such inventiveness, with team enthusiasm and advancing thoughts about the planets, the Universe and anything else one can extrapolate, was satisfying to watch, even on an afternoon.
The weather has been sunny enough, warm enough and with the extra light in the day, I can get outside. I have a couple paintings I have finished. They languished in the studio as I knew there was something to reconsider but did not see it for some time. I did the Coastal Fall late in the fall when I parked my car next
to Odiorne and stood in the sun to paint. Not a lot of time, and a complicated mass of color which took some time to resolve.Then there was the day I only had enough time to sketch out Beacon St, which is to the left.
I add here two more that have been works in progress. They are related to the black and white drawings I did and the water colors which were derived from those. When the subject is in my mind, it arrives at completion differently than with a subject I have either in front of me or in a sketch.
