Another Inquiry



I probably did this before (too), but it has the added image of the people inside the faces--another inquiry into how what we think is what we believe we are.

I Give Up



I asked my wife what she thought of this one. "You've done that one before," she answered.

Next wife will be a liar.

Hold Up



Back home again. Stopped in my tracks. Arrested. No more flying. No more driving. What a luxury to be still once again.

It is a shame that . . .



I just returned from the wonderful Mint Museum in Charlotte. I overheard a woman say, "it is a shame that you can't touch it." Thoughts raced through my head of what I should say to her. I thought in my head how successful the artist had been to create the desire to touch.

Impermanent Fish



We came home to find our beloved koi no longer swimming. Someone had left the hose running in their pond. It was sad and we are bummed.

Thrifty



We thought we'd save a little money, so we went to LaDirt Inn, only to find it filthy (we didn't want to step off the elevator!). Then we went to our old standby (usually more expensive). And they were having a holiday sale!!! We learned not to change things that work.

Touchpad Couple



Decide to see if I could make an entire drawing with the MacBook's touchpad. I like the results.

Mowed Elec Trick



So I borrowed my daughter's electric lawnmower. It was a saga... First I tried to sharpen the blade with my only Texas very small file. Then I went to buy a better blade, but they didn't have one. After that I left the blade in a shopping card and had to retrace my steps to find it. Etc. etc.

But the lawn is cut and Linda filled 17 bags with trimmings from the plants.

What will tomorrow bring?

Waiting for Texas Driver's License #2



The mother and her little daughter sat on the floor reading books. The mother's head seemed 4 times larger than her daughter's. Lots of people waiting to be called were reading books.

I just made drawings, and read some newspapers left in the chair next to me.

No Longer 2 Skinny 4 My Friend

Waiting 4 Texas Driver's License #1


Our daughter told us to go to the office in the downtown area because it doesn't take as long. We didn't listen to her.

Linda couldn't get a license because her birth certificate was only a souvenir from the hospital.

I made two drawings (maybe #2 will be posted tomorrow) and then walked around an asphalt track 4 or 5 times in 100 degree weather. The breeze felt good. I think it took two or three hours before my number (87) was called. The clerk was very nice.

You have to hand over your old license to get a new one. The woman from Kansas sitting a couple of seats down from me didn't like that. I didn't care.

Austin Ladie



I asked my daughter if I could draw just a little on this card she received in the mail. She said "yes."

Lost in Austin



Today, in our new home, I kept walking into a closet looking for a bathroom. I think I should paint arrows on the floor.

. . . looking @ the artwork.



We ate at one of our favorite lunch places in Austin. Linda noticed that there was a woman looking at the artwork on the wall.

Art Secret



So my daughter and my friend both liked the straight picture. I thought the idea of photographing a drawing askew (6/23/08) was such a good idea. Maybe I just need to do it better.
