Camellia Study 19.3.15
…freshly picked from our camellia bush that is spectacular this year, with many more blooms still to come as you can see.
For today’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall, I posted this photograph in response to Cheri asking us to Share an image of a wall that reveals something about a place, people, or you. .
For Studio 365: Day 72 I thought I would add a slide show of the wall’s somewhat eclectic content for those who might be interested. It includes photos of places like Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, St. Antimo, Tuscany, paintings and photographs of mine that may be familiar to some of you, and a special treasure, a painting by my daughter. The pieces keep changing of course but the gallery makes for a great record of a moment in time. I hope you enjoy it.
After Day 70 featured The Blue Danube Waltz, blue continues to be the theme for Day 71.
Catching the waves I & II 12.3.15
I drew this cartoon when I was still a schoolboy in the early sixties after listening to Thelonius Monk playing Blue Monk for the first time. If you have a few minutes listen to this great Jazz classic from a 1963 recording of the Thelonius Monk Quartet and available on Revolver Music’s Thelonius Monk, Volume 2. It remains one of my favourite pieces of Jazz to this day.
Somehow I feel that today’s blue palette is a good match for the jazz. What do you think?
Using yesterday’s palette, here’s how I removed the acrylic paint today from the white ceramic tile I use as my palette, so that it’s pristine and ready for action tomorrow.
