summer self


Much of the country is locked under 
The Heat Dome. 
Triple digits anywhere sounds horrendous.
We're on the edge of it here, and it's in the high 90s, 
enough to make me, uh, irritable.
At the end of this day, I'm still liking the pastel I'm doing,
so I'm taking my sweaty hands off of it for now.

I clutch my iPhone in the cool of the night
and do these Pollock app things.
Here's a self portrait.

Your injuries and bruises have healed since Dec. 15--and you've still got that gold in your hair.

Just drove through Arizona yesterday while helping my daughter move from TX to CA. It was 112 deg. My my it was warm. Now we are in nice cool Newport Beach good ole CA.

your portrait is fascinating. Looks like you've been out in that sun too long!! Keep cool!

The yellow highlights are perfect! Looking forward to seeing your new pastel painting, too.
