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.

February 11 Coffee With Crane


One of the cranes from last night's painting is still in the picture. It flew into a quick little composition that took about 30 years and 15 minutes to paint, and became part of the duo: Coffee with Crane.

February 10 Paper Cranes


Whenever Savannah and I go out to eat, she makes tiny paper cranes. She uses whatever paper is available: the paper napkin bands, place mats, napkins. She tucks her miniature flocks in with the creamers.

We went to Gene-O's tonight. She had her favorite, alfredo pasta with shrimp. I had a taco salad. She left three cranes in the creamer bowl.

When we got home, I had her make a larger one to use as my model. Inspired somewhat by the white birds of yesterday's painting, but more so by Savannah's little peace message to the world.
