sketching and a reminder

first the reminder. the ellsworth kelly show at the metropolitan museum closes on monday. if you're in the vicinity kelly is a genius of simplicity and line

i did this ginko leaf after my most recent visit to the show this week

these are from wednesday sketch class at battery park city.

catching up with myself

two saturdays and a wednesday in between painting and drawing at battery park city. i'm really enjoying watercolor since i freed myself from the need to be representational. they're still rocks and trees to me and they can be what you will for you.

awash again

in water and color.

overcast is beautiful downtown but problematic when the clouds let loose as they did on wednesday half an hour before the end of making art in battery park city. still, this tree's roots

inspired more color than you'd imagine...

watercolor morning at battery park city

mom

some of you might know my mom from the book of her work i posted on her 98th birthday. at the moment i'm on the mom detail before during and after (i.e. now) her cataract surgery. it went well and she's not experiencing pain. recovery requires lots of eye drops & attention. that's my excuse for being out of touch. i know, i know, no excuses needed, just wanted to get it out there. in case you miss me :)
