We had a long day of extreme teamwork. Morning was full of guitar parts work and the afternoon was visiting with the grandamas. I cleaned out my mom’s gutters and worked on her yard all afternoon so when we got back to the lake my sore hands could only offer up this lonely little flower in the blue.

I didn’t feel super creative but Char and I spent some fun moments, in between selling guitar parts and building Legos, to really get into a rubber stamp and watercolor project. I am pretty sure a ream of printer paper was used.

I have never been great at drawing boats, cars and houses. I have a four year old that wants me to draw boats, cars and houses now. I looked up a tutorial on drawing an easy sailboat. It was fast and fun. Maybe I will get addicted to doing these for a bit. I think it’s a great exercise. https://drawinghub.com/tut/how-to-draw-a-sailboat-25854

Here on Buckeye Lake when they started work on the new dam, I understood I would be without a dock for sometime, so I sold my boat. Now that the new path is finished for bikes we have been doing a lot of that instead. Cheaper and healthier. I do miss my boat some days but it has been fun watching all the sailboats back out while pedaling down the path. I guess that’s why some boats went on to the Yupo paper this week. The holiday weekend was full of work but we had some good spots and tried to enjoy the lake as a family bike gang.

Charlie and I spent a few days at the shop with David being on the road. I have been feeling uninspired. It’s just a case of too much actual work that needs to get done. Two days of art time just being tiny, quick blots on scrap watercolor paper. Still making art.
