Finish work on studio wood – a good feeling it is done.
Cut + did preliminary work – on wood for reconstructed Dutchman’s Creek picture – (from 22 x 18 to 48 x 42)
Evening – the dragon-fly sunning itself on the lattice (the kind with chalk-white body and black wings with white polka-dots). It’s long body contracting and expanding laterally, as if it were breathing (and it was).
