after second major water change Thursday came and instead of their water being clear, it was thoroughly cloudy again, and Tres was showing signs of "brown blood" from the overabundance of bacteria and their attendant nitrates. Aigghh!!! So, Friday morning I had to change out a great deal of the water again, and more salt.… Continue reading h20
underpainting
Above is a sneak peak at the new canvas in progress; it's quite a bit larger than the other Amsterdam pieces (30" x 40"), and it takes considerably longer to even get down washes for a base. This is just a faint beginning. I haven't worked on a canvas this size since the grotesques, and-… Continue reading underpainting
heat index
They're saying today will be a scorcher. I felt it coming on last evening, and so closed off the front room and started up the AC; it has remained quite cool (though i turned it off this morning), as I haven't opened the windows to let in warmer air from without! The past couple of… Continue reading heat index

It's Saturday noon, and I have been reading a friend's blog. I have read a few in the past couple of months, and I am always so impressed with people who get very personal in their writing. With details. The whole blog phenomenon is strange, and I still am not quite sure of the point… Continue reading reading

You see, I recently learned of [somewhat dire] financial troubles of one of my clients; a situation leaving me (and several… Continue reading challenges, opportunities.

I have had the time and opportunity to play with spaces, having lived in many apartments during my time… Continue reading new enterprise…

challenges, and opportunities. The fishes' tank water is cloudy, and has been so for a couple of weeks now. Today it appears to be a little better, but I have yet to unravel the mystery of what's causing it. Lately viewing: BBC Brain Story documentary series PBS Guns, Germs and Steel Lately reading: The Alientist,… Continue reading forms & structures
bleeaaaahhh!
It is never anything but disturbing to spy vermin in one's abode; it feels like an intrusion, shaves a bit of the comfort off of one's comfort zone. Sometimes, makes one's skin crawl, awakens the heebie-jeebies. Ugh! i just had an unfortunate run-in with the largest cockroach I've seen in years, save those night crawler… Continue reading bleeaaaahhh!
Impromptu projects
Kim came over to drop off the menu prints for Bonnie's last evening, and we wound up having a very spur of the moment art night: we got out all sorts of paper, glue, paint, you name it. Then we chose a book from the shelf (Jane Jacobs: The Death and Life of Great American… Continue reading Impromptu projects
