Whelp, Joe is coming into town next weekend, the table is buried in gardening and bird toy making stuff, the floors are a wreck, and I totally intend to spend the next few days trapped in my room, ignoring the world while I spend quality time with Bob the skull. This one keeps making me giggle when I pull back for an overall look. Already setting up the basic shapes on the real drawing. This will totally be part of my wall pattern.

Crows are carrying nesting materials to a tree just across the street. I have a window that faces it, where I sit and draw. I also have a popcorn maker, mealworms, and a crow call. This might be a fun season.

Thinking seriously about the wall design I've wanted to do since forever (that's why my art is scattered with repeating tiles). I'm realizing I can also take the same designs and learn screen printing. I admit, my Redbubble store is because I want my own art on my own stuff 'cause Carly Simon sings to me, but their stuff not what I'm looking for. That said, I'm going to buy this on a sticker, because they do seem good for that. Then I might look into if it's worth the investment to screen print.

Last year around this time, I complained that it was overcast but too hot to hit the dewpoint, so we weren't getting our spring rains. This year it's cloudy all week and instead of a chance of rain, it's a fire warning.

I keep trying to draw Celia in bloom with her sunset colored pitchers (using photos from fall), but she's right. Her blossoms look better against spring green. Ultimately it won't matter because my fav version will be the one I do to look like a blacklight poster, but it's still fun to move through examining the natural tones.
