Day 197

I don't know how to make this about something that I love, but we're going to try.  I've been bitten and I think this might be the culprit.  It woke me up in my sleep and in the morning I had blisters on my toe.  All this heat means I have my windows open and the enormous amount of fruit in my apartment means I get flies.  Gross.

What I love: Here it goes...I love fruit and the colors in this painting, and the fruit leather I made and sacrificed my toe for.  Also, I love the window I stood by that looks out at the bus stop.  So many interesting people don't know you're watching them and it makes for a good show.  This sounds really creepy, maybe it is, but try it sometime, you'll see.

Day 196

Another trip downtown.  I'm kind of digging this painting because of the colors, the line, and the shapes.  It reminds me of a watermelon, which I'm also kind of devouring every day.

What I love: Experimentation that brings creative awesomeness.  Really though, I'm learning to love my trips downtown on my own even if it means I wander around the same intersection over and over trying to decide if the tiny blue dot on my phone is moving in the right direction.

Day 195

I spent a lot of my Sunday driving downtown to drop the husband off somewhere and I saw a lot of these signs...

What I love: Driving downtown on a Sunday where there really isn't a lot of traffic.  I do not love traffic.

Day 194

I call this one "Berry Delight."  Some of our friends are doing that Whole30 craze and invited us over for a birthday celebration.  Coconut whipped cream, berries, and toasted coconut are delicious.  I have 2 cans of coconut to make my own(but I'll probably add sugar).

What I love: Berries--also friends who introduce us to new things like food, places to go in the city, Burgerfest, Uber, etc.

Day 193

This one strangely reminds me of the ocean.

What I love: The release doing these paintings gives me.  It also gives me a certain amount of stress, but also release.

Day 192

I have recently become obsessed with watching the watercolor just move on the paper.

What I love: This kind of reminds me of the lake front from above, but really I just love painting today.

Day 191

"Really?"

Yes really, I'm still playing.

What I love: I love watching the color spread in a water color painting when you paint wet on wet.  I love that it starts as this tiny little dot and then expands and creates these amazing shapes.  Also I love that it's unpredictable.
