It’s been hot. I ordered me some new purple swim trunks. Can’t wait to test them out.

I have heard women my age lament that gray hair makes us invisible. I have always wanted to be, or assumed I was, relatively invisible. Maybe that’s why it doesn’t bother me so much. Meanwhile, we have the perspective and power from our years of experience. Hail the hags and crones.

Honestly, since the break I took from the dailies I have not moved back into spending long or thoughtful time in studio. I’ve been tempted to just extend the break or give myself a pass on several days. But. One thing I’ve learned over the years of this exercise is that if I keep the channels open, sometimes good and unexpected things happen. And eventually the urge and the joy will return.

On my way across to my studio I saw the local skunk, who made a nominal effort at hiding under the truck. I don’t suppose we’ll ever be friends, but maybe at least neighbors who wave hello?
Then I went to admire the twilight fireflies that I am so happy to have living in my little, unkempt yard.

What I Did On My Summer Vacation
29 June – 3 July, 2022
While on vacation I didn’t try to do much observational painting. Instead, I worked on figuring out how to draw Celtic-style interlace. I’m sure there are books and tutorials, but I needed to occupy my mind and hands, and treating these as a puzzle was soothing and calming. Here are my workpages, and you can see I even got a couple finished that I feel pretty happy with.
