when on weekends
first rains fall and
a scratchy throat
takes hold while
my teams lose
and whole seasons
are in doubt--
even
still,
there are
afternoon naps

Two new When paintings in the works. Hoping to have these done this coming weekend.
A happy discovery. By first mixing the overall tan color and then adding a bit of brown and white not completely mixed in, still in a swirl, then loading the brush, I was able to get this fairly believable wood grain look. I can't believe it's not butter!
A trick I borrow from working on music is the idea of different "takes" and culling different parts of different performances to create a composite, a collage if you will. Here, the sleeping cat was re-drawn for the When Reading painting. And the standing cat was reversed on computer then added to the When Wandering sketch.
A collabo sketch for Lisa. I don't have the images handy, but she re-drew this in Corel and went all crazy with it.
Ah. This is why I'm a packrat. This old sketch was in the same stack of papers. This tiny drawing was projected onto larger canvases for The Boom-Bap painting, currently used as this blog's banner.
