Two of Reeds
Another of my psuedo-tarot cards. This was intended to be a nice calm turquoise but I messed up the initial wash so I decided to go full on tie-die. About 5.5 inches by 7.5 inches. Winsor and Newton HP Professional watercolor paper.

Cattails Painting
I haven’t been happy with most of my watercolor efforts this last week. Partly because I was deliberately keeping them simple while trying out some new techniques and colors. Anyhow this one I am happy with. It’s a continuation of my cattail obsession. for me this is a very loose style, something I’m working on. DS Undersea Green on Winsor and Newton HP paper. Outlining was done with a Pitt artists pen. I’ll probably post some of the less successful pieces later..

Just a quick sketch playing with colors and trying for “looseness”. Overall I like it but I’m always nervous about intense colors. I’m never sure how they will be seen by others. But then I remind myself of all the hideous color schemes I’ve seen in art museums.
About three inches in diameter on Winsor and Newton Professional paper. Colors are Daniel Smith Quinicridone Violet, New Gamboge Yellow, Pyrrole Orange, and Pyrrole Red.

New Cattail Painting/Design
I’m going to call this done. This is an old design that I wanted to redo in Daniel Smith watercolors and on Winsor and Newton professional paper.

Hear That Long Snake Moan
I first read Michael Ventura’s essay, “Hear That Long Snake Moan” over twenty years ago. I just had occasion to reread it. It’s good when something from that long ago still has the power to move me.
Recycling companies need to do a much better job of educating Americans in order to get a cleaner recycling stream.
