I told Judi it was a persimmon and she believed me

What can I say about this? Not much. What is it? Persimmon? Tomato? Apple? Squash? Rotten pomegranate?

Another First Friday Painting Party at Kat's studio. Fun thing was using a silicone brush (see the background). Two new people I hadn't met, and Bobbie from a previous class and Brian from a previous FFPP. And of course Kat. I'm glad I went.

This is a 10x10 board. At first I taped 4 6x6's together to make a 12x12 until I remembered I had a 10x10. The 6x6s feel too small to me know. I want space. I want enough space to make big movements in space and board. I could have Nan cut me 4 3x12" strips of board and put those on the edges of whatever I use to give me more space to go off the edges and then have the finished product be the whatever size minus the 3" strips. I'd maybe have to paint Nan's other dog to get the strips cut.

I think I need to fuss with this a bit more. A bit pinky on the upper right lobe, needs to be darker at the bottom right. I did a bit of fussing on Saturday and had to get that silicone brush at Wet Paint so I could do my fixing. Originally the upper lobe was too big. It still looks too big. Maybe I need to darken it a bit? That might wreck it. Kat would stay stop. Monica might say go. Maybe a bit more dark green here and there and darken the shadows below the reflected light. I like the tiny bit o turquoise in there even though it's not natural.

While I was waiting for this to dry and trying not to look at it, I painted a little pan. Then today, the next day, I gesso'd part of over and will re-do. Looks too Pre-K.
