Catching ZZZZZs with the Captain

Feeling ill's upside.

Still a beautiful bundle of love.  Demanding, yes, but she's earned it.

Metrical Reflection

Two trochees and a spondee: my full name.

Can you tell that I'm bored with hanging around being ill and just "resting"?

Images of a Day (The Slow Version)

Coffee out at the Point: sailing school weather, bright skies and light airs.

Summer's recommended reading: Homer's Iliad!

Garage art: the clay bits are mine.

I'm still getting over another round of illness--sore throat, cough, headaches, body aches, whatever--so the day has been a slow one with a coffee jaunt followed by garage-time, by old projects and new projects.

Old school depth gauge; fishing gear.

Salvage work: the larger 'blue boat'.

Photocopied art from Classical Greece: inspiration while using the old rowing machine.

Photocopied art from Classical Greece II: inspiration for sculpting heads.

Garage art: inspiration from Ayrton and Weil.

Waterhouse's "The Siren", I think.

Old wall-fish: stoneware; blue glazing.

Fresh whale: air-dry clay, first attempt/use.

Mermaid (rough): air-dry clay.
