forgotten tidbits - july
1. A handful of Rainier cherries. A fleeting crop but well worth the wait!
2. Stage two or three (I've lost count) of a still life I started painting in oil. It's pretty pathetic because I'm so used to painting with acrylic and thus have not successfully learned the art of "fat over lean" and how to build up layers to create that amazing luminous quality of an oil painting.
3. Mystery flower that grows in the front yard... it gives off a subtly spicy fragrance and it is right by the gate so every time I enter or exit the house I get a whiff of it. It's tantalizing, and even more so because I have no idea what this plant is called.
