I see it still has wheels; maybe its life isn’t over yet. I’ll bet the owner still has plans for it…
FIELD GLASSES / Daily Painting #1326
Field Glasses / Watercolor / 7×10 Inches / To magnify, touch the Image.
Field glasses, that’s what we used to call them. Binoculars seems to have taken over as their most common name. I remember the heft of them, and the way they fit so snug in their felt lined, leather case. The way there was always a subtle “pop”, when they finally broke free of the case. Things are different now. I love the things that technology has enabled me to do, but I miss the feel, the smells, the sounds of those times gone by. I feel most fortunate to have lived then and now.

Posted with BlogsySTILL LIFE IN A SPANISH HOTEL / Daily Painting #1295
Still Life in a Spanish Hotel / Ink and Watercolor / 6 x 9 Inches
It was far and away the worst hotel I encountered on my entire trip. But it did have the most interesting things to paint and memories that will last; so how could I complain?
I checked in late and left early the next morning, swearing to read all the reviews when booking ahead on the Internet in the future.

BURGER AND FRIES / Daily Painting #1222
We, Thea and I, decided to take it easy today. We stayed home, rested, took care of some business, rested, ate left overs, then, well rested, went with our friends to something called Fabricas de Aurora. An old industrial complex that has been turned into beautiful studios and gallery spaces. It is huge, and it was crowded. We only had time to take in about half of it, but hope to return when it's not opening night, and see if we can learn more about it.
We saw a lot of antiques there, and art, and the thing that caught my eye, screaming to be painted, was this half-eaten hamburger on the office desk in one of the gallery spaces. Someone must have had to jump up and take care of a collector.
Next, we went to HECHO IN MEXICO, a jam-packed restaurant for a drink and a very nice dinner, and now we are back in Casa Laura getting ready for an early start for tomorrow's adventures.
¡Hasta Mañana!
