daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Working on the sky portion of a painting, I am trying to recreate some of the purples I saw in Lilo & Stitch.
They’re close, but not quite what I want. So I’ve done some research (on Youtube of course) and ordered the colors of acrylic paint that hopefully will get me there.
Mariko framed three paintings that our friend Yellow created, then our son’s girlfriend, who is studying interior design, recommended a good spot for them, and then I hung them.
I think they look pretty good there, although they are not completely level in the photo. 🙂
I rode my Brompton to pick up the mail this evening, and the weather and light was so beautiful that I went for a nice ride around the neighborhood. Blue hour is so great!
When I look back to the few years I spent in Japan with Mariko, it was like a laid-back slice-of-life dorama. Such a nice time! And now we are thinking of spending more time in Japan (perhaps splitting the year moving between the US and Japan) and I am excited about what that dorama might look like. I can’t wait!
The forecast said it would be raining, but the ground looked dry so I went for a neighborhood run. It was fun to look at where the darkest clouds were and imagine them soaking the ground below them and happily, they stayed if the distance.
The area behind my right knee (I don’t know what that is called) has been sore lately so I need to keep an eye on it. But it’s not preventing me from running or bicycling so that’s a good thing.
I hope you had a nice day!
