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!
My Day Ahead series posts will continue, but on a much more intermittent basis. Already it seems some of that seriesā usefulness is being incorporated into this new seriesā format, me yakking ābout what when on, on the yesterday part of my life anyway, lol! Itās a continuing experiment of course, so weāll see š

Floating Blooms, closeup detail, art in-progress

Friday, one of the fullest and busiest and most tiring days in a very long time, and that covers a lot of days, was also a very good day. Just packed! š
Thankfully, the day rose bright if cool and breezy. With the soft morning sun shining through the art roomās windows, I took a much better image of my in-progress acrylic, Floating Blooms. I wanted to be able to show the depth of colors in the darkened areas behind the blooms and think this gives a pretty good representation.
After, I worked on the petals of all three, but more so the middle and right, but only because I ran out of time. If I was going to walk before all the following chores and good things to do, it had to be right then š

Morning Walk in Austin

From daybreak, the sun shone strongly but smoothly. A waltz, more than a rumba, lol!

After painting the little bit I did after capturing the background detail above, I went on my mid-morning walk. Shadows were clear cut from where the sun smiled. The air was cool, the breeze soft and southerly. It was obvious it was going to be one of the rarer nicer days. Good for being out taking care of chores and, later, picking up the 6 year old from school.

Delivering Art to Orange Coworking for Creative Arts Society show

Creative Arts Society has quite a spectrum of venues, and Orange Coworking is nearby and unusual but promising, a large co-working office space immediately the the HEB nearest us. Art had already been arriving when I showed, and my framed limited edition print of Three Cups joined the group š

Thereās lots of meeting places and good lighting. Notice the shadow silhouettes of us waving to the wall, lol! Itāll be interesting to see how this works out. Iām always hopeful ā¤ļø

Detour at Zilker Botanical Gardens

After delivering my art and stopping next door at HEB for a few things, we had lunch then picked up Max at school for a sleep over. But first we had a couple of detours. Since his school let out a bit before the reception that evening at the Old Bakery, we skipped over to Zilker Botanical Gardens. It and Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center are the crown garden jewels of Austin. Above, Max is at one of the ponds in the Oriental section. Even in near-winter, the gardens are superb ā¤ļø

Around and down a path and as we neared the dinosaur section, this gem of colors and architecture greeted us. The last of the light was signaling us it was time to head into downtown for the art reception!

Art Reception at Old Bakery & Emporium

Festive, filled with both people and tons of goodies brought by all the participating artists (us too! š), it was another grand occasion where Max got to see my work, we got to see friends we hadnāt seen for awhile, some for years. By eveningās end it was dark and we slowly made our way home, watching long lines of headlights heading into town for another Friday night. We were glad to call it a day. A very good day š
