This year’s lotus is looking fine right now
Frame idea /
I’m playing with a new way to add silver to the underpaint of the new frames, connected to Arp’s Dada idea of a randon drop.
Lotus are back /
Lotus are back on the pond, and in my studio. I wonder if other people make thier own brushes.
Stone /
cut a new stamp to use with larger paintings. Its a hunting horn, from my family crest.
today /
My mother was a watercolor painter. She painted outside in the trees. I used to joke with her that I couldn’t paint in the spring as it was too damned green. Springtime she would repeat it back to me – ‘Too damn green.’ and laugh.
The trees today reminded me of her.
Ten years ago /
Remembering I was also painting ink on canvas, for the ShiSui Festival Exhibition, in a great old Sake Kura, out near Narita.
