This is a screenshot of a Adobe’ed artwork by an artist I don’t know. PS, a friend, did the Adobe-ing. It’s so easy these days to lose sight of the original artist. We might as well accept that once our work hits the online world, it’s out of our hands, it’s no use crying. Or conversely, our attitude can be that we’ve launched our art to do its work in the world.

Reflections … One of my early watercolor paintings, when I was not yet conscious of the differences between acrylics–where paint is dabbed into the scene with many little brush strokes –and the minimal swirling brushstrokes of loose watercolor. Plus, there was a plastic wrap experiment. Altogether a busy little scene.

This started as a watercolor study of sweet potato leaves and rapidly became a semi-abstract study. I’m sure I don’t know how that happens sometimes.

The only time in my life that I’ve ever risked looking directly at the sun was in 2019 when bush-fire smoke made that possible. Here the sun setting behind Chincogan or more popularly known as ‘Chinnie’. A little relationship to the story so far.
