100 Day Project: Day 57 March 18, 2020

No sooner had I put pen to paper than we were informed the California State Park we were staying at for the night was closing because of the corona virus outbreak. Off we go. Maybe later I’ll be able to get last week’s post together.

If nothing else then just make lines and the rest will follow later. Even if I barely make one piece this week of lines, little by little every day. How life can crash in. We are traveling long days, much longer than we ever did before. We may slow down here, but home is the goal.

100 Day Project: Day 59 March 20, 2020

I was able to put a little paint where it was needed on various pieces last night. Then worked on lines on a piece this morning. We were still in California when the new state-wide shelter-in-place order went through. Moving east. Still working on art through this.

100 Day Project: Day 60 March 21, 2020

Tired. If you wonder where the progress photos went, I killed the camera on my phone. One too many drops. Photos will have to wait until the end of the week batch. It’s too much of a hassle to do it daily. Finished a textured piece last night. Working on others this morning. Started collecting more plant stuff on the road and, after learning my lesson, they are flattening in my sketchbook. Some of these earlier pieces are being held down by linen strips because they are so unruly.

100 Day Project: Day 61 March 22, 2020

I did something this morning. But that was ages ago and a state of the union away. I showed up. Goodnight.

100 Day Project: Day 62 March 23, 2020

Coffee. Pen. Paper. Morning light. Road.

100 Day Project: Day 63 March 24, 2020

I’m here, minimally. But every little bit adds to the whole. Will attempt to carve out time to document works today. We. Will. See▪️
