This blog began as a daily painting blog but as life changes, so does a blog. It has become a journal of a writer who paints and enthusiastically works outdoors to maintain fitness.

January 9, Mortar, Pestle and Tomatoes


Saturday. Vacuuming, picking up, putting away. I washed the chains and hanging globes of the lights in the main bathroom. Made a couple of phone calls for a committee I'm serving on. Washed the yellow kitchen rug. Assembled lunch and took special notice of the brass mortar and pestle on the kitchen counter. Also, still thinking about the tomato I had intended to paint yesterday. Ate it for lunch and it could have been a potato. Sometime I might paint three tomatoes and a potato. I would title it, "Tomato, Tomato, Tomato, Potato." Reminds me of a song.

Globes, chains, tomatoes, brass -- round objects and metal. I was up for the challenge of painting metal; and red orbs. So, here it is: brass and red orbs.
