The small things of life were often so much bigger
than the
great things . . . the trivial pleasures like cooking,
one's home, little poems
especially sad ones,
solitary walks,
funny things seen and overheard.

Small things I like today:
Casual
Twirling
Juicy
Small boxes with lids
The word “evening”
Roots of trees
Soft
The smell of clean

In the studio I now have photography back drops of a variety of neutral colors. They are actually sheets, but they seem to do the trick, as long as I have a lint brush handy. The gray and coffee-with-cream colors seems less harsh than white or black.
I continue to experiment with water colors, washi papers, various fibers and powdered graphite.

If you read and posted a comment on the last post, you will want to know who won the drawing for one of these paper constructions.
Liz Davidson's name was pulled from the basket. A package is on the way to her as we speak.Thank you all for your comments.
A note about the quote which begins this post. I was not familiar with Barbara Pym, but now that I have read more about her works, I look forward to reading them. You can read more about her books here at a blog called A Fondness for Reading.
What small pleasing things are on your list?
