From a photo, it really is this color. Honest!
Been awhile
I should make excuses for not posting so long. My dog ate it! I’ve been involved with HOST, the Haywood Open Studio Tour, Oct. 2 & 3. We have finished the work on Sleeping Stones Gallery. Now to find artists to show for two days. I’m hoping for an interesting mix of works.
beyond Xeriscape
I’m letting the panels Xeriscape percolate. In the meantime, I’m working on these small paintings.
fine tuning
I’m doing small adjustments now. Then comes a period of “percolating” . I live w/ the painting and decide whether it’s done of not. Gregg can be a great help, he will say “It’s not done” and it makes me ponder what else I might do. Conversly, sometimes he says “It’s done”, and something nags at me. Ultimately it’s my call. Some paintings may be allowed to exist for awhile, but one day I paint more, or 
over them, because they didn’t WOW me.
Xeriscape
We saw a film on the typeface Helvetica. Until computers, most people didn’t even know the word typeface, now everyone has an opinion. I used a typeface to get the spacing correct for Xeriscape, but I don’t remember which one.
The book room at FCCA is mostly empty. Condensed books and Encyclopedias are left because even the library can’t get rid of them! Big book sale coming up at the end of the month. We are at a nexus when printed Encyclopedia are going to be recycled, not read.

It’s a painting, not a plant!
It’s just paint
More paint.
progress slows
The first couple of days seem like a great leap forward because you cover up all of the white of the support. Every little bit adds up, and someday I’ll have a painting!
Xeriscape
This is a good start, I think.
Does it need an oil well?
I have two paintings I’m working on for possible Christmas cards this year.
