Once I have sufficiently moistened the little puck, I like being able to share the yellow, or any other color, over multiple surfaces so that I might make better use of the paint.

Play time Tuesday.

Whittling Kindling

You thought the time spent on the porch

might get you a bird or a whistle, 

a whale, turtle, pipe.

You paid attention to proper knives, 

care and cleaning, and the 

just right wood.

In the end you merely added shavings 

to the fire that warmed your life. 

A ghost of smoke now.

Thursday morning poem

Quink Water

This morning I discovered that Parker Quink ink does not stay put when I brush some watercolor over it.

I wonder if I start with watercolor and come back around. Next experiment, I guess.

I have watched Youtube videos.

I am reminded of the Chinese saying:

"Don't believe what they say. Go see."

Getting closer all the time

 

Art Space

 I have some experiments to make. I'd like to make them close enough together that I might document what works.

Elbow room.

Speedball Dandelion

 Here is one of only a few Speedball Dandelions in my first book.

I do NOT mean it to indicate that I ever had any artistic tendencies.

Coconut Wine

 Except for a few speedball black ink dandelions

I made no attempts at artistic embellishments

in my first handwritten book of poetry.

They Say

There may be some gems in here.

You might have to blow the dust a bit.

Critical minerals might require some smelting.

You get what you pay for.

They say.
