Saturday started with a text from Grandhunk #2 ...

Sure enough, before noon there was a knock on my door and I opened to find four Grandhunks. Chris is an honorary Grandhunk

and I wouldn't give that term to anyone else, he's a sweetie. 

They brought five lunches and 5 sweet teas or lemonades!

GH#3 in chair, GH#1, Gh#2 and GH#4.

GH#3 loves my chair, he & WW debate over who will get it.

GH#3 and GH1 helped me with some techie stuff in the studio.

 

Lucky to have them during their busy day,

They were off to play basketball on a park court.

Thank you Grandhunks,

 

I think of them again with every sip of sweet tea.

I had an acrylic background on a large sheet of w/c paper.

Just large brushstrokes of colors I rarely use.

I folded then tore it into 12 postcard pieces.

Then I used a pencil then marker to draw ...

I started in with torn pieces from a catalog.

I use Scotch Permanent glue stick and a brayer to adhere.

I like to use text for texture, but always sideways or upside down.

Working on a background is new for me.

Branching out.

Just because ...
