Eucalyptus


I walked this morning in the same area I always walk and painted the same trees I always paint, but I left out the houses this time. I have been painting this stand of trees for years but it always looks different. This little tree is young yet. Maybe 15 years old, I can't remember when it was planted. After the children were out of the house but before my mother died. That is the way I remember things now. Let’s see, before the knee surgery after the first grandchild was born. I don't seem to remember dates at all, or your birthday or when we met. That gives me the advantage of buying a gift at anytime of the year just because it is something I know would be just what you need.

I have finally purchased a pedometer. I have been trying to use one that is not very accurate. So now I will start keeping track of the steps I take. It also keeps track of heart rate, but doesn’t do dishes. Oh well. I guess I can’t have everything.

This watercolour is terrific! The colours are wonderful, and it looks loose and relaxed!
