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.
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.
I can’t believe how well this watercolor sketch I did a few years ago illustrates an alien cloning bath. The warmth with steam rising in the left foreground, the bleak winter weather in the background.

Although this isn’t the brand of golden syrup I know from my teen years in Australia, the tin is the same design. The rim is to stop drips similar to a paint can. Used as a receptacle to drink from, it needs a hole in the rim, or you’ll be spilling it both sides of your mouth.
