"Momiji"

Black Ink, Watercolor, Oil Pastels
Washi Postcard

The first day of August has brought with it the heat.
The public pools are closed,
so I decided to paint.
I did a series of 3 Etegami postcards,
I present 1 today.

Yesterday I cut a small branch off a Japanese maple tree, (momiji)
for today’s subject.
Blue and green are soothing colors to me, in summer heat.

For musical inspiration this was one of the tunes I chose,
from Harold Budd :

“Madrigals Of The Rose Angel:
Rosetti Noise / The Crystal Garden And A Coda”

Harold Budd

From The LP

The Pavillion Of Dreams
Produced by Brian Eno

Till Next Time...
