Fun-a-Day Week 4a

Aaaand I'm all caught up. Evidence below, and this time I bothered to crop a bit to see if that makes bigger visuals for you (What do you think, James?)

Past couple days, I've been feeling philosophical. I did the bottom two after a friend called this morning with some heavy medical news. Together they form a little prayer.


The open hand is ready for what is handed to it. Took the heart directly from #27 in the Loteria deck: el corazon! Guess what that thing in a jar is?

Fun-a-Day Week 3b

This two-a-day thing is working out. A couple more days of this and I'll be all caught up. It's been a lot of focus to keep this thing going, but the reverse is also true. Keeping this thing going is helping me focus on my intention for the year: to get to know myself well enough to be truly fond of her. So I suppose it makes sense that I am finding myself fonder and fonder of my day's work as the month has progressed. I'm so glad I'm doing this.

Fun-a-Day Week 3a

OK, slowly catching up. Through last night:
Lost at the bottom of the cards: 'Play your hand."

Fun-a-Day week 2b

Well, I'm behind of course, but here are a few new things in the series:


It's interesting to see how the pieces are sort of evolving over the course of the month. I like this inkl&watercolor thing. One reason I'm behind is I attempted to add 4x4 box canvas acrylics to the works, and it threw me for a loop. Totally different rhythm, painting in acrylics. Rather than choke on finishing one piece before starting another, I decided to let the canvas be an unfinished thing & move on.

I'm still behind by about 5 pieces, dear dear, but I hope to get to another one in between bouts of iron cheffing the fridge.
