At any rate, the weather has been almost completely like summer since last weekend, when I went on a hike:
(If you look at the large version, you can just barely make out one of the hawks that was circling around and around--one of the tall grasses points at it.)
Yesterday Princess had an excellent day.
And I finally got in gear and did some painting--two new in-process and one probably almost done practice piece from a while ago:
The pomegranate/seedpods are experiments in that one is going to be only colors, and the other is starting off with the black and white underpainting as per the workshop I took a couple of years ago. Initial notes: I "get" black and white. Instant color is fun. And I tend to either use very little or way too much Liquin (thinner).
