MONDAY MAY 17TH GROWING UP AND GROWING OLD


LITERALLY , I HAVE  PACKED 20 TIMES. TRYING TO GET  "EVERYTHING" I WANT TO PAINT  WITH  IN MY SUITCASE.  I HAVE  MADE  A  DECISION. I WILL NOT  BRING THOSE  EXPENSIVE  ACRYLICS.  BUT  IHAD TO  TAKE  ONE  MORE  STAB AT  PAINTING  WITH  THE  ACRYLICS... PRACTICING  FROM OTHER  PEOPLE  BOOKS AND  PAINTINGS.
E JOHN ROBINSON  BOOK  FOR THE  WAVES  AND  PICTURES   OF  THE  HARBORS   PROVIDED  ME  WITH THE   SUBJECTS.
\ PAINTING  ROCKS WITH  WAVES  CRASHING  HAS  BEEN A  GOAL  SINCE  I WENT TO  A  WORKSHOP IN ROCKPORT , Ma. 30  YEARS  AGO.  BETTY SCHLEMN'S  DEMONSTRATION OF  CRASHING  WAVES  DID IT. I ALSO ATTENDED  A  WORKSHOP SOME  10 YEARS  AGO   WITH  NITA  ENGLE SHOWING THE  STEPS  TO DO THIS  IN WATERCOLOR.

I HATE  TO NOT  TAKE  THE  ACRYLICS... BUT  I JUST  CANNOT  AFFORD THE  PRICES  OF
EXTRA  BAGGAGE ... BOTH MONETARY  AND   PHYSICAL BURDEN.
I WILL JUST  HAVE  TO  COUNT  MY BLESSINGS..AND  STOP WANTING  IT  ALL..
