Lilac Window

this was a fun little painting to do. Its been a while since I did it, and I find things always look better a few weeks later. I was working with brighter colours for an underpainting- more what you would do for oil or acrylic. It sort of leads to a dense painting in water colour that is hard to deal with a bit, but the intensity has got kick. I like the shifting light, representing in the cooler and warmer shades of blue. thats a fun discovery.

So, its GORGEOUS outside. Marcel needs training wheels on his rather large bike. I think we’ll do a search for that tomorrow. I know I haven’t had much time for the blog lately. I guess it goes to show Ive got a lot on my mind. I haven’t even been doing much painting. Just trying to get those old ducks in a row.

I just finished reading “La Perdita” which was a good read. I like Graphic novels. I love how they can make really difficult things seem really light – and then you think about it more and more. Like a very hard and subtle candy that sort of melts in your mouth. They are so easy to digest, and yet I always find myself thinking about them over and over. This book was less girl-y than “the imposter’s daughter” but still about a woman, and I like that its not autobiographical.
