As I had mentioned last month I found my journals from the last millenium and I have spent most of the month scanning them, and one surprise is the amount of time it has used. Two hundred scans or so and I have three more years to go. Below is a sample of a page. I will have a dozen up for viewing on March 15th. I will also have a history of one painting that is of the blue herons above. this blog post. More work is the main order of the month and starting two paintings.

A great feeling of satisfaction prevades and I sit smiling as if drinking, but yet perfectly sober. I found my journals from my swamp, bog, and jungle art safari's and all my notes. They had been in storage with my studio for five years and I thought they were lost. A brief sample is the sketch of Night birds in the swamp. By the way, this is an artistic expression, real birds don't go into the water at night. They are sensibly asleep. this blog post. Work is the main order of the month as the holidays are an interruption (pleasant, but nevertheless an interruption).
