woo woo landscape update

8.21.23

Well heck, it’s Stevie’s 75th birthday. I turned on my old PC to look for some music I have there, and the screen saver (remember those?) is all my old digital photographs from 2005 on. So many dear friends gone, it breaks my heart, but there are beautiful memories, wonderful trips, that brought us to this place. Gigs and travels and friendship, what bliss, what a perfect life we had.

Meanwhile I touched up the little landscape from the watercolor workshop, signed it, framed it and gave it to James for his birthday. He liked it so much, so I am glad to have someone enjoy it. I didn’t get a photo of it in the frame, but this is the final version. I added a wisp of sky and tiny trees to make the upper edge make sense. It’s stunning how that little change turned the hard upper edge into a flowing horizon. I also had to cut a bit off the sides- The watercolor block is 11×15″; try framing that, guys.
