The other computer broke
Still painting; settling in to the routine essential for clearing the detritus.
I lost the little lead that joins the camera to this computer so cant' upload
Current struggle is to not actually try to make a 'good' picture; the best arrives quietly and without fanfare. Stealing into the corners and wilting if subject to the ego driven desire for greatness.

the bird, boat and ochre.Acryli on canvas
The bird has the color and rythm of the landscape
The boat was a project began with my dad when I was about 9
The rocks were found in the white sandy riverbed at Camel Camp. An egg with brilliant red ochre for yolk

I found the toy boat in the shed. Dusty and incomplete
He made it for his eldest son
Drowned at 7
He was across the bay playing with his friend at the apple orchid
Nobody knew what happened
They found him at Flax Island
