Reddin’ Up for Pete’s Sake

I grew up with that gem of an expression, to red up, most likely related to the word “ready.” It means to lightly clean i.e., to make ready. Yep, I’m reddin’ up by posting these four drawings done somewhere between California’s Central Valley and Kauai so I can move on for Pete’s sake.Reddin' Up

Hybrid Hibiscus at Kuaui’s NTBG

Annyth and I were both enchanted by the conspicuous subject of this iPad painting in Procreate, a hybrid hibiscus at the National Tropical Botanical Garden in Kalaheo, Hawaii on Kaua’i. It was about 12 inches in diameter and had enough texture and color to elicit a deep silence.

Kauai Wildlife

They’re so colorful…and plentiful, a feral beach chicken on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
A friend, who’s an authority on the subject, sheds light on the subject in this blog post.

My 3rd Merced Art Hop 

October 15, 2016, Brightdart Print & Design, 528 W. Main St., Merced, CA

This time I dragged along an easel to hold my iPad and positioned myself out front on the sidewalk, which coaxed a few people into the shop, where I had paper, canvas, and metal prints for sale. As night fell, I drew this portion of Main St.. A colleague of mine at the Enrichment Center, Ashlee, was tabling right next door; so, I had a familiar subject in a familiar setting. Next time I’d like to add a larger monitor or even project the unfolding image onto a wall or screen.
