Jarbidge to the Oregon Trail

I really need an entire day spent doing nothing but artsy stuff. Really need one.

I messed around on the computer today, but it isn’t as gratifying as dragging out the watercolours or the oils or the colored pencils and drawing. I do have just such a project in the wings: my mind is still wrapping around it and there is some work I need to do on the computer first. I have it uploaded to my computer and part of the first leg done, but…

I had to stop and watch “The Never-ending Story” with a little boy.

He was supposed to be napping while his mom and dad ran to the store. He was very quiet and they assumed he was asleep, so they left me in charge of him.

He was not asleep but he was very tired and a tad bit sick. So he and I curled up in the easy chair and we watched the entire movie together. It’s a cute movie with a great story but the special effects are really dated. The Luck Dragon needs to be recreated digitally. Gmork (the werewolf) is pretty laughable. But, still – for a two year old boy and his Baba, it is a good enough movie.

And it wasn’t “Monsters, Inc.” again. Zephan can watch that three times a day.

So after all the chores were done, dinner cooked & dishes washed, I did not get as far creatively as planned.

But I did get the photo for the day taken.

Still life in the loft, backlit by the sun.
