#Nests

Game on...on the radio...Dodgers at Tigers...two on two out...no score...Betts up...infield hit...top of fifth...Muncie up...

🦋Dream: rerun...lots of stores, like a village, like the Park...and lots of discussion...I wake up...

🎶to bottom of fifth...Dragon Nests...for the Black Dragons' nests, I lifted from Bower Birds...for what the Black Dragons looked like, I lifted from Puffins...back in the blog...thought was to illustrate the tales, an Ilustrated Novel treatment...now, now, a temptation, lure, to do scenes like I'm seeing made by AI...is that some moral issue, using AI?...watercolorist distinguish painting with only water-transparent watercolor...plein air purist have it, all of a painting must be done out in Nature-no studio work...my two months of artist cos-play are coming up...September Strada Easel contest...InkTober...gearing up for this...every year try to be "with the program"...but funds, time to work, divert me...actually, as art, the efforts are "in keeping" with art...oh, Tucker in the doghouse...thrown out at home...at least I'm fond of them, those monthd..."fondness" a benchmark...

Dragon Dreams
 
 The Southern Black Dragon Flight
 Dreamed Dragon dreams.
 The fledglings returned to their
 Respective nests,
 Spread their wings
 And shook their feathers dry,
 And nestled into sleep.
 And Volcano Never,
 And the Dragons' nests,
 Were quiet like a cathedral ruin.


🎶yeah...I'd hesitate to embellish that with AI...Dodgers 1-Tigers 1...fondness is a lens...and I embellish the riffs all the time with AI...a contradiction...being embellished, enhanced...use opaque watercolor...mixed media...copy work...copied Remington's Chasing Cattle with Serape with air brush, brushes, tracing paper...and fond of that!





















Airbrush and acrylic on 9x12 board...after Remington...Remington is really good draftsman, and knack for portraits of the wild west...original is black and white...an airbrush class was the last class I took at Palomar, summer 2003...I had to mask the horseman, do the airbrush, then cut away the masking...I did it carefully, but it left an outline...traced the drawing...sunny hot blue...puppy Maya sleeping on the hardwood floor beside me on the bunk...bunk is high, and when she gets less tired, she'll try repeatedly to hop up until I reach down and pick her up...bunk is in the room's corner with two windows, and I make her snug in the corner by the windows, and I block her from falling off...and so arranged we snooze the night away...yesterday's post has an update....

from Tree in the Door, 2013 about

🎶a Bower Bauble...was being trick with the border...that color trick...(color rivalries)...take away focus-see!...lol...Maya, my dog, with fondness...roll out for a snack...wait...Ohtani up...two out...Freeman hit...Dodgers 2-Tigers 1...top of eighth...bbk...bk...Dodgers 2-Tigers 1🎀...Phillies 5-Angels 3...
