My Yesterday in Pictures Format
Iāve simply built my daily walking & painting up to the point where I need the time for these two vital parts of keeping me healthy and/or sane, lol!
Plus, instead of having to work images into the My Day Ahead series posts, this new series will enable me to keep those as pure text, and supplement with images from a variety of possibilities here. Itās an experiment of course, so weāll see š

Morning Woke With Sunshine in its Eyes ā¤ļø
What a welcome sight!
Even the art room got a good start today, lit my maybe-done maybe-still-needs-work painting, In the Light – very fitting, lol! I do think itās either done or needs to dry and become a test case for trying out a varnish coat later.
Anyone out there w/stories of their own varnishing experiments? Let us know in the comments! š
Two Differing Painting Re-evaluations
Two more paintings I wanted to re-evaluate in terms of their āfinishedā status. Kinda understandable for Fog Along Lady Bird Lake below, since itās practically a Notan with some light color glazing, and I painted in this spring (ie, not that long ago.) No decision re what to do about this one yet.
Now, with Barton Springs Morning Fog Lifting, circa 2005, I have multiple layers of problems (literally) deciding. In very limited just-right light, it looks the way I want it to. In light like below, it doesnāt. Do I need to enhance the value differences? Or try a varnish? Would itās highly textured surface be a destructive problem (vs just a challenge?) My research says use a gloss of high quality that can be removed. Iāll try Gamblin Gamvar first then.
Walking With Sheila in the Sun š
What a difference a day makes, or at least a day like today after 1/2 a week of very un-Austin weather, lol! We ended up relaxing in those orange chairs, soaking up the sun, in our coats, true! āŗļø The soft warmth of the sun on my face reminded me of my youth, growing up in Houston, going to Galveston, literally soaking up the sun when the ozone and particulate matter in our air were very different. Also true. Iāve also read we (humanity) can reverse much of our problems massively replanting our forests (among other things). Donāt know how true. But I do like trees š š
Though there have been years (among the decades) where Austinās gotten good fall foliage, spotty stuff like this, the light sparkling the reds and yellow like sparklers in daylight, is more the thing here in Central Texas. And, it beats the 106 degree heat of summer š
And this is Cham, short for champagne according to his owner – who also gave Cham his rainbow colored tail š Heās one of several four legged friends we sometimes see along our walks š
