The land itself rose on fire with the sun
I could only hold my arms aloft
Scooping water round me
Painting reflections
From my soul.

Watercolor Painting : Rowing With the Sun, circa 2021, Available

Rowing With the Sun – a rare (for me) combination of intuitive landscape coloring immersed around a carefully created figure. Even our then seven year old grandchild stood looking at it for awhile, finally saying, “You did this, Grandpa?” Higher praise I know not 😊

  This evening ( Monday, June 27, 2022 ) here in Austin, we broke the all-time record for number of days 100 degrees or more – and – the clouds and rain and cooler air swept through and we dared open the blinds and step outside before 10 pm, lol!

  It’s a minute to ten, past my bedtime for all practical purposes, lol! But had to get this short post out so ya’ll will know us 70+ year olds ( wife & I ) are – so far – successfully pacing through a 2nd month of all time record high temps here in Austin.
• June 23, 2022 – El Marisquero Seafood – 1st Time Eating Outside in a Texas Summer in Decades! #FoodTruck #EastAustinJune 23, 2022
  Though I definitely can’t make it a habit, having a great tasting lunch break “outside” in the middle of the day in 100+ degree weather here in Austin was more than bearable – actually a pleasure!
