2/13-14, 1-3:30pm. Another salon studio: 2 sessions of
oil painting with Riley Doyle, and my result at the end.
Everyone has these colors: red, blue, yellow, black and white.
We started with sketching blocks of color. Let the painting dry overnight.
Then adjust the colors and add details.
I painted Riley's cat.
My lesson is that I should have sketched all the components, including the cat.

On Wednesday this week, during the
salon social,
bassist Keith Lowe and brother Bryan Lowe played downstairs.
Bryan brought a rare and remarkable instrument:
Cristal Baschet, a sculptural French instrument of glass rods and resonant metal.
He was proud and kind enough to let me (and others) slide my fingers with water on some rods.
I could feel the vibration.
He said just the shipping costed him $5000.
