17 November 2020

  It is my neighbor Bob Blunt's birthday today.  I believe he is 83.

     I had a great day creating artwork yesterday.  I knocked out a couple four by six inch wash drawings, with coffee and watercolor.  Plus a charcoal piece.  All portraits of oak leaves. 



     Today I'll try one in the fluorescent colored pencils Carla sent me.  That could be difficult getting the browns I want.  They do not make fluorescent brown.  Orange and blue.  Green and red.  We shall see what I come up with.

     I need to e-message my dad and see if he can order me some watercolor paper.  I have some high end 300 pound paper, but that is saved for more polished worked up pieces.  The rest I used up.

     I was thinking yesterday.  Last year at this time I was so sick I, and hospital staff, honestly did not think I would have much more time to live.  I know the cancer is a ticking time bomb, about to go off any day, but I am a month away from my birthday.  I thought my last birthday was iffy at best, and now I get another one.  Life is good.

     President Donald Trump keeps insisting he won the recent presidential election, which he lost.  We might be looking at the first American coup d'état.
