    I got a trio of POSCA markers with extra fine tips; white, and a metallic gold and silver. I wish you could see this in person; how the stars shine, and how the breaking sunlight is catching on Triangle Head and her cat.

    The sunrise is coming along. I enjoyed laying the clouds in. They came out almost as I intended. I’m in love with this combo of volcano violet and indigo for the clouds. I added some cadmium red hue around the sun on the second page, and I think I’ll use it to show where the light is falling before I add the next layers.

    We’ll get to that next time. All the blades upon blades of grass. The shadowy stone monolith and lush orange-guava ferns and two tall trees, down by the water.

  • start as you intend to go on

    I recently ran across this advice while doing hundreds of hours of research before adopting a cat: start as you intend to go on. And by recently, I mean over a year ago, around the time I decided to start this blog. The purveyor of said advice, whose identity I have unfortunately forgotten, stumbled upon it herself in a parenting book, but felt it had a broader relevance, and I quite agree. Because while I don’t remember where exactly I heard it, here I sit, one year later thinking yeah! That is how I should start this blog!

    Exactly as I . . . intend to go on.
