July 31, Watson

 This is Watson, on a beach somewhere, with the bright sun strong on his face. He has a commanding presence, doesn't he? He looks pretty confident of himself, and he is paying attention to the person who held the camera. This was another one that took a while to paint. I started drawing this one out a few days ago because I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it done on time. And I've been up painting for a bit here- 

We're still at camp, and it is smokey up here, closer to Canada. I can feel it in my lungs today. We are outside most of the day. We'll try to keep activities easier so we aren't breathing so hard. I don't remember ever worrying about air quality when I was a kid, though I do remember visiting London in the late 80's and blowing my nose often, with very black polluted results, and no one mentioned air quality then...

Ah, how the mind wanders!  Thanks for reading! I'm over half way through this project and have been appreciating the challenge so much. It gets me out of my head, to paint like this, so thank you!
