Boat at Lake Trasimeno

My second gouache is a study of an acrylic by Patti Mollica, Boat at Lake Trasimeno. When I first saw it, I was immediately drawn to how they abstracted the water into these big, bold, sweeping brushstrokes, and I was moved to try that out for myself.

something I am grateful for today

I got my new debit card today, and the number on it is identical to my current card. I was worried they would change the number on me [which has happened in the past!] and then I'd have to fuss with my laptop auto-filling the old number when I do online banking. I mean, I could manage that changeover but it's a pain, and I'm glad to be spared it.
