i have been working on a painting of a friend’s dear departed cat. it is a from a beautiful photo, but i’m finding it very difficult. the first problem i had was that i bought a new tube of white acrylic and was frustrated with it’s lack of opacity. after working with it for several days, i was complaining to a friend about it, and then realized that i should check the label to make sure i had the right thing. sure enough, i did not – it was a translucent white for mixing into colors. but on top of that problem, the photo was very low resolution and i couldn’t see the details of the cat itself.
the parents of jj’s grade got together for a pot luck dinner. it was very enjoyable to get to know people more. they were, of course, an international bunch. the hosts were french/american couple from new orleans, here for a year. there were 3 korean moms, an english couple, a korean american mom, an english/french couple and others. the food was excellent as well. (my favorite was the pork baked with prunes and also the korean noodles). i was having such a nice time, i didn’t want to leave, but had left jj on her own, so felt i should get back.
