In the Shadows of Your Song

Vancouver

Did this quickly today with some watercolours, ink, and a little photoshop for good measure

Watch It All Burn Away

Grapevine Fires

How my little experiment came to be; little by little, with many, many changes along the way.
The first incarnation was a couple picnic..ing on a hill with the girl dancing in the distance. The fire took up the whole sky, but that changed early on into the plumes of smoke, which I literally dreamed of, I saw that smoke in a dream.

I Was Alone So I Set A Fire, And Wasted It All On You


Last night I preferred the version with the light spots, but today, I don't know, I'm liking the one without more so.
Rather than pick between the two, since I'm not using this for anything anyway, I decided to post both.

I Descended a Dusty Gravel Ridge

Who knew having a new puppy would take so much time and energy?
Not I.

So it's basically been a month since my last post, and I've pretty much finished a little painting, there's just some final touches I need to take care of before I upload it. It was something I worked on intermittently back when I was doing the drawing a day, but it was being held up by the daily drawing and the fact I did very little preplanning for it (and was under the hope that it would just come together on its own, which it didn't).
So I kept repainting it at the beginning, and then in the middle after I stopped the daily drawings I painted lazily, then I bought the puppy, and I've only worked on it about 5 minutes at a time since then, being too tired to do much more than that.

I'll post it within the week. So yay for that, but I won't have time for another project I wanted to get to. On the bright side, I'll have a lot more time to plot it out so I don't end up in the same existential mess.

On to other matters...
My Puppy's name is Bixby, he's 5 months old Monday, and he's a Goldendoodle. He's well tempered, quiet, follows me everywhere, is smart-ish, which is to say quick to learn but not above doing dumb things such as chasing his own tail.
I'm pleased, tired, and broke, but sometimes you just have to do what you want with your life, and worry about the consequences as they come.
