Canvasium Pigmentio!

Look what I finally got.

Magic wands!

No...wait...sorry.  New paintbrushes is the correct answer.  Yep, that and paper on which to paint and/or draw.  Time for the sharpies to take a hiatus.

PS - I know it's really just bad lighting and a lack of knowledge about all the important things about photography...but I can't help but love these golden-hued photographs taken in our dimly-lit living room.

I took this picture of some Black Mission figs the other day and fell in love with it.  I want to paint it.  I think it's partly the pattern the basket creates in the background....but it's mostly the colors.  Deep blackish purple, grandma-bathroom green, and a light creamy behind it all.  I'm in love.

Trying to get back into the habit of blogging every day.  Slow going, I know.  And this certainly doesn't really count as a painting or drawing in the least, but...oh well.

Behold... Cilantro Pesto.  It was yummy.  And beautiful, beautiful green.  I love this color.  Have you ever noticed the color green right after a rain storm, when the sun is starting to come back out, but the sky is still that warm grey?  The way all the green looks during this moment is my favorite color.  Well, favorite at that moment anyway.  I have a different favorite color practically every day.  Today my favorite color is...Cilantro Pesto.
