Frustrated

I suck at plein air painting. I suck at alla prima. I spent a good chunk of time this weekend on a landscape, and it looks like crap.

Sometimes my walnut ink or pencil landscapes look pretty nice, so maybe I just can't handle the colors. This makes me think I should try painting with a very limited palette--whenever I try it again.  Some day.

Hotdogs and asparagus

I cooked asparagus six feet from where I picked it.

Asparagus coming in...

I've been waiting.

Narcissus

These bloom after our yellow daffodils, which have now faded away to only greenery.
