|
February 21 - Progress:
Today
I got back to working on my newest watercolor "Railyard Tour". I used
masking tape to block out my major light areas. The great thing about
the tape is that you can see your drawing through the tape so yo know
where to cut the tape.

February 18 - Perseverance:
The
NASA Perseverance rover safely landed on Mars after its 292.5
million-mile journey from Earth, the agency confirmed at 3:55 p.m. ET
Thursday. The rover landed itself flawlessly, according to the
mission's team. "Percy," as the spacecraft is affectionately called at
mission control, sent back its first images of the landing site
immediately after touchdown, which shows the rover's shadow on the
surface of its landing site of Jezero Crater.

February 11 - Slow Progress:
I'm
not making much progress on my newest watercolor - I'm spending way to
much time watching "Outlander" on Netflix. I've seen it before, but
this time my bride and I are watching it together. Perhaps I can finish
"Old WindMill" by our critique on Saturday.

February 9 - Painting Back From Watercolor Now:
My
painting just got back from Watercolor Now in Popular Bluff, Missouri -
My painting came through fine - But, my air-float box looks like it's
been through hell - My painting "Brother John II" is entered into
another exhibit - but it's a virtual show so, if it gets in I won't
have to ship it.

It
