Not-So-Empty Canvas


I'm beginning to understand how to work loosely with acrylics - use a big canvas, long brushes and a lot of water. I had fun with a big abstract floral today. Maybe I have found my milieu...
Mr Fox trotted by this morning while we were enjoying coffee on the deck. The chipmunk population is down by one more. The fox never saw us sitting there, hurrying by with the limp body dangling from his maw. There are at least 2 foxes living down the hill towards the lake; a grayish one and the red one.
And what a few peanuts can do! Last night the skunks and raccoons came out. We thought there was going to be an "incident" because the skunk got very twitchy when the raccoon got too close. Great. Memo to self - buy tomato juice.
Lobster dinner tonight - yay! I'm getting my slobber shirt on cuz the steamers tend to splash. Happy Father's Day!
