(06-04-2011. Tonight I wanted to play with colors. After much deliberation, I decided that the western sky was pretty cool [and it didn't hurt that I have a scrubby old chair out back to park it in]and so I rounded up a pad of Canson colored paper for pastels and my boxes of pastels and went out on my back porch [ translated, that means fire escape with cement walkway] and sat for three hours doing a sketch with the fat side of the pastels. A dim incandescent lightbulb fifteen feet away and darkness coming, I couldn't go so much by hue as by value. The first time I got an actual look at the finished product was when I brought it inside and flipped on the lightswitch.)
