I can't stop seeing this painting as a flag. I don't know why. I guess it's the way the paper is arranged? So I've decided that if Cantelopeland had a flag, this would be it.

This reminds me of being a kid and stuffed into the back of a car. We were all inevitably touching, but one person always got upset about it.

I am safely in Canada, where the temperatures are nice and cool - a lovely change from our 100+ degrees in Texas. Tomorrow begins the workshop. I will report on it as I am able. Until then, here is more cantelope. I was totally enchanted by the colors in this one.

Cantelope is not something I've tackled in a while, and I was feeling the need for something different. I love the glow, especially on the ends, when lit from behind. I tried a painting of the whole cantelope with just one slice taken out, but I couldn't figure out how to represent the outside with it's distinctive texture with my brush strokes.

I'm off to Canada tomorrow for a 5-day workshop. It'll be fun, eh?!
