Como Park Waterfall, sort of.

I did not think it important to make it look like the scene before me.  What was important was that I was outside painting.  I tried to just enjoy the process without judging the result.  Now that it is done, I can look at it and say that I want to use some of those same techniques again, but not the rocks.  I overdid the rocks again.  I really liked the first layer, but now they look too outlined.  

I was in Como Conservatory a couple hours ago.  I love it there, but it is too crowded and hot to paint.

Free Day

I am finding myself with some unscheduled time and no car today, so I am sitting on the deck enjoying this glorious morning.  I wanted to draw but don't feel like drawing trees and leaves today.  I have drawn my hands and feet many times before.  I looked around and decided to draw my reading glasses and journal with Sudoku pages stuck inside.  My need to make an appointment with the eye doctor is in the back of my mind.  I'm pretty sure that will mean prescription glasses.  It is hard to accept.
