It Is There Somewhere

Picture it. You see an interesting sky but you’re all buckled up ready to get back on the road and don’t want to get out of your vehicle. So you put your cell phone out the window, point up towards the sky and take photographs from various angles.   

This is how I did with the in back of me shots. 

Yep, there are times when 

what is there, is there.

I did manage to find the sky.

Going through my zippered carry portfolio, I had an unpleasant realization of a depression side effect…unfinished and forgotten projects. The feeling of loss is strange when there’s nothing gone but time. The stack of cut watercolor paper is still in there.

The abstract is a finished artwork I haven’t seen in a long time. Looking on the back reading math notes written in maybe 1999 is surreal. I used diagrams I made as study tools.

Yesterday I had a lunch and sketch at the Crown Point Historic Area. I added watercolor at home. 

The ink and watercolor drawings are a pleasant re-discovery. I added more color on all of them. Two need to have impressions pressed out. I will moisten the back and place the dent under weight enough to remove them (see diagonal line).
