May 28, 2021 – Beginning My 1st New Painting Since Before Our Move : Barton Springs Greenbelt Poster Series, Part 3
I’d hoped to fully finish my 1st work on about a month (due to our move) but there’s some finishing I want to do, plus, after 100 degree heat index most the day a storm’s blown through with straight line winds, hail, and (the good part) much cooler temps!

May 26, 2021 – Beginning My 1st New Painting Since Before Our Move (1 Month+) : Barton Springs Greenbelt Poster Series

May 25, 2021 – Delivering Art for the Reopening of The Old Bakery and Emporium (across from the State Capital) Austin, Texas
Today Sheila and I took a selection of my prints and originals to the Old Bakery & Emporium. It was a warm welcoming reminder of what everyone involved with the Old Bakery, artists and personnel alike, have missed for over two years!

May 24, 2021 – 1st Episode of “Hacks” on HBO Max – “There is No Line” with Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder – 4 Stars + Very Promising
I immediately started liking “Hacks” from the 1st few minutes, while Sheila had to warm up to it over the course of the 1st episode. That’s ok, it took her 3 tries when I first met her to get her to go to lunch w/me, lol!

May 21, 2021 – First Tentative Dabs at Doing Art Again! (even if digital)
Week ago I uploaded my 1st image of the greenbelt near our new location in Austin (off one of my blog posts), and I’ll readily admit, I’ll think some of images since then are even more impressive – but – I really like a lot of things ’bout this pic (beyond the great memory of…

May 17, 2021 – Searching for Old Images Without Names or Descriptions Among My WordPress Media Files
I had a heck of a time finding the above pic of Sheila in my Wordpress media files today when I’d updated the post and wanted to tweet it so I could use the tweet in today’s Random image post!…Why? Because back then, in Oct of 2014, about 3 1/2 years into having a blog…

May 15, 2021 – Random (sorta) Pic of the Day, Bird Friends at Our Balcony
Granted, my real life observation of birds is relatively limited, I’ve never seen this before, one Cardinal feeding two! Wonderful really, so amazed at the joy of such a tiny slice of nature ❤️ To say it’s adorable seems nearly a cliche, but adorable it is!

May 14, 2021 – Random (sorta) Pic of the Day, First Bird to Visit Our New Balcony Brings a Friend

May 07, 2021 – Reblog/Review : Luminosity in Watercolor via Dianne Mize
As usual, what’s especially nice about Dianne Mize’s relatively short Quick Tip YouTube videos, is not only the amount of information she relays to us, but how she relays it, generously giving examples both on her palette and her painting paper of what she’s discussing – in this case, creating a sense of luminosity with…

April 29, 2021 – Moving in Our 70’s in a Time of Covid, 1st Look at the Roads and Woods Nearby
Sheila and I took a short 1/2 hour walk yesterday morning exploring some of the streets nearby. Maybe since we’re so near the green belt, most the streets and area around us is rumply and hilly-ish, not nearly as flat as where we lived before.

April 21, 2021 – Moving in Our 70’s in a Time of Covid – Catching the New Light at the New Apartment
Most of what we took yesterday (Tue, the 20th) were boxed paintings, but one, the acrylic Lady in Paris 1889 which I’d been working on, chosen ’cause the paint would dry quickly minimizing smears & all that, lol, and that one, not too big, at 20×20, was super light, so I just hand carried it.
