Wednesday June 21: A Quiet Day

 Today was relatively quiet. The sky was clouded almost all day.

I was featured in the Beatrice newspaper today:

I started my morning drinking coffee on the Heritage Center's patio. I drafted 6 Haikus on my iPhone-- but frustratingly, they have somehow now disappeared! Maybe with tomorrow's coffee, I can remember and rewrtite them?

I didn't do any painting today. I pencil sketched. I made another attempt at a Killdeer and was satisfied with this sketch.


I sketched the Palmer-Epard cabin. I have previously watercolored this cabin; but today was a pencil sketch.

Immersed in moonlight

Prairie mariners
sailing across oceans of grass
West to safe harbor


I did a rough sketch of an idea for a poster contest I am planning to enter next Spring.

This 1930 Model A was parked in the Heritage Center lot this afternoon.

The park is busily preparing for this weekend's Homestead Days Celebration. This weblink shows the schedule of events. I have been invited to have a table/booth promoting the Artist-In-Residence program.

Monday, Juneteenth!

Image
Today is Juneteenth, the holiday celebration of the emancipation of slaves in Texas. The Homestead National Park includes numerous details of the homesteading efforts of freed slaves. I drank my morning coffee from the back porch of the Park's Heritage (Visitor's) Center. It has a nice view over the park.  The sky was pure blue until a jet trail bisected it. White Line The cloudless blue sky becomes divided by an airliner’s white trail. Inhale No words can describe  the pure freshness of the air. Close your eyes and breathe. Bending, Yielding The tallgrass prairie rhythmically bows to the breeze. A gyrating dance. Imaginary Boundaries Fencing in or out? Barbed wire defines fields and range. Except leaping deer. Instinct Killdeer are actors, faking a broken wing to distract from their nests. Can you taste it? My tongue catches a released sweat bullet sliding down my cheek. Salty. For Mom Cancer is evil: The Devil stealing bodies. But strong souls resist. Later, I spent time on ...

Thursday -- More Watercolors

Image
I didn't savor my coffee this morning. I started right in with watercolors.   Here is the first blank "canvas." This is the first painting: flowers. Next I tried to copy the landscape view, but it seemed dull -- so with artistic license, I added the water feature. This helicopter flew overhead with this weird frame hanging beneath it. It was flying West. Two days ago I saw this same helicopter and hanging frame flying East! I quickly wet-sketched these simplistic images. I greatly enjoyed my weeklong "Artist-In-Residence" at Homestead National Historical Park.  Many thanks to the park staff and visitors that I was able to interact with during my visit.

Tuesday, My 59th Birthday!

Marking Time Fifty-nine candles Require strong lungs to blow out. I hope for sixty. It semed breezy enough to fly my kite today; but only marginally so. Wind Ho! The kite luffs and then the taut string lifts it upwards pulling hand and arm I sat on the Heritage Center's back patio and enjoyed my morning coffee. Percolator The aroma is bold, awakening first thoughts: my morning coffee. Pablo Picasso said,  "Painting is just another way of keeping a diary." I guess both my art and this blog serve as such. Then and Now From fingerpainting and Crayolas to today, I remain inspired. I have recently become fascinated watching Bob Ross' painting show on PBS Television. I am amazed at his skill and speed -- and his even demeanor. One of his great quotes is, "There are no mistakes -- only 'Happy Accidents.'" Even though his medium is oil paint, some of the skills tranlslate: imagination, color, shadow, composition. PBS Painter “Happy Accidents” Bob Ross makes ...
