I started another of these ink and gouache paintings. Sometimes I wonder if I should even post them incomplete. But I’m still holding to posting each day what I made, and it’s enough of a picture I suppose, even in the incomplete state.

My old fallback of noodly doodles with water-soluble caran d’ache crayons. It was fun.

I just finished reading Jon Krakauer’s “Into Thin Air” about a disastrous Mt. Everest expedition.

Old National Geographics again – this was an article about coal pollution in Eastern Europe. Gorgeous photo of a woman in a steam bath.

Sometimes when I lack inspiration, I leaf through old National Geographics that I keep around for collage material. I found this orangutan to be an arresting presence.
This painting is after a photo by Tim Laman, in a Dec. 2016 article about Orangutans at Risk.

Very tired this evening, so I let a spray bottle and ink do most of the creative work. Acrylic paint to add color and make it pretend to be a picture of something.
