This arrived months ago, but I just got home to appreciate it: pack of stickers, art prints, and an absolutely gorgeous art book by @nprofile…kmsy
Over 260 designed pages, lay-flat binding, sections on past, present, and process.
I’ve bought A Lot of artist art books and this 5⭐️ quality.
Congratulations on this accomplishment!!! 👏🎉💜

I’ve had more of an awareness Memento Mori since crossing the half-century birthday mark.
The wildfire evacuation brought it closer to home in a different way in that everything my mom owned, other than her Go bag and the car, could have been destroyed overnight.
A lifetime of physical memories gone.
A kind of death in that I’d never again see the tapestries my grandparents stitched. The photos of that family vacation. My largest watercolor painting.

A local farmer opened his peach orchard yesterday for picking because the fruit is ripe but most of the migrant workers left during the wildfire evacuation. Mom went out and brought back 2 large bags.

Home again! Thankfully no damage to the house, minimal ash/debris to sweep up, and the house interior was far less smoky than I expected.
Slowly getting back to normal… while still going to the next town for groceries and anything else because the local businesses need a few weeks to clean up, restock, and re-open.

So late yesterday afternoon, huge amount of smoke was billowing over the mountain ridge seen from Mom’s backyard.
By late evening, the whole mountain was on fire.
By 2 am, we evacuated to the nearest, bigger town, and about an hour later, the entire district of 12,000 people got an evacuation order and the town lost power.
Mom and I are safe in a hotel room. Very grateful to get their last one so Mom has a bed and accessible bathroom, compared to being at one of evac centers on a plastic chair or cot.
No idea when we can return home, or how much home there will be to return to.
Still feels surreal. Even the smoke and ash in the air this morning is like something from a movie.

Sketch from a local cafe.
I usually don’t draw people, but he was right there at the next table on his own reading, so he didn’t move a lot which was really helpful. 😅
It was also interesting to draw the same thing multiple times and play with abstraction and size on the last two iterations.

Sketching the accessible bathroom of our hotel room.
5⭐️ for the shower bench, wall bar, and ability to use a hand-held shower head.
3.5⭐️ for the law-defined 17” toilet (regular is 15”) because it’s not high enough for my mom at 84 years old and definitely not high enough-post hip replacement surgery.
5⭐️ for Amazon Canada for delivering a toilet cushion* riser seat the day Mom was discharged from the surgical center.
* use the search term “cushion” if you need a toilet rise that uses straps/suction cups/etc to attach to the toilet seat vs. something that replaces the toilet seat and has to bolt onto the toilet with hardware.

Finished the 3 art cards for the 3 ladies I know having hip replacement surgery this Summer. Each word was chosen for a specific person.
I included some progress photos, so you can see how I started with a single sheet of watercolor paper, drew the design, couple layers of watercolor, then used an ATC (artist trading card) template to decide where to cut the art cards. Used a metallic gold paint pen and fine liner pens (Micron 08, 02, 005) for details.
I meant to spray the cards with a fixative, but had a huge headache at the time and grabbed the spray varnish can by mistake. Turned out fine. Added the punched letter words last.

Finished the cheetah collage. It’s the first in a sketchbook I’ll be exchanging with a friend once a month. Looking forward to seeing what she adds on the next page.
In addition to the metallic watercolor, I added colored pencil to get closer to a natural cheetah fur and eye color, and re-colored the spots with a Micron pen.
Very back flower layer is a paper napkin. Went through a few iterations before I was happy with how it supported the front layers.

Current read: Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Fun so far. I’ve never played tabletop RPGs, but I’ve been around people who do for decades, so the stats stuff doesn’t bother me. Lots of references, but they don’t get in the way of the story, which is (along with the characters) interesting enough for me to keep reading.
This is the first of many books, because there are 18 dungeon levels … though no one has made it past level 13 (cue ominous foreshadowing music).
