Aging Through Covid-19, April 29, 2020 – Stay at Home Entropy
Had planned a short post explaining why I haven’t written a post for several days and it’s morphed into a long hopefully important post of things I’ve come to conclusions about re what Covid-19 is beginning to mean to me beyond any one of us could get ill and/or die.

The Power of Understatement (Lost Edges) via Dianne Mize Studio Feb 2020
“In the 1960’s I attended an art show in which hung a huge mural size painting showing as its content the total of three words: “Say Everything Completely”.

2nd Progress Update Working with Golden Absorbent Ground and Fineline Masking Fluid, on Violet Blooms 02.11.20

“Turns out this method (for me) is also not 100% foolproof, at least in regard to getting the right areas masked, etc. But I really think this is more to do with a learning curve, both in regard to watercolor choices in general, and using masking fluid for and with those choices.”

Manet made the doodles in his letters look effortless … by using tracing paper | Art and design | The Guardian
“of the illustrated letters: “They are always described as breezy, virtuosic and effortless, and dashed off in a moment. But what I discovered is that most of these things seem to have been traced from more searching and careful drawings.”
