I like the watercolor bloom that happened when I did the undercoat, so I left as much of it as I could.

The Asian pear in the photo was upside down, because Harriet knocked it over. I put it back in the wrong position and didn’t notice until I went back to painting. At least she didn’t leave bite marks in it, this time! The banana she swiped off the kitchen table did not fair so well. I came back from taking out the trash to find it squashed all over the kitchen floor. Brat.

One of these days, I’m going to manage to get usable shots of them doing their gape-mouthed FEEDMENOW routine. They’re like two orange, aquatic piglets! Whenever they see me near their tank, they come to the front, near the waterline, to tell me their tale of never-been-fed woe.

It’s weird that I got several shots of just one of them alone, because they are usually joined at the, um, fin. They’re companionable, gregarious little guys.

How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?

The Bumpasses are totally rocking out to the Bee Gees. At 11:30pm. I’m more amused than disturbed by it, though, because I almost never hear a peep from them.

What makes me cranky is the Claritin commercial with the stone carver who is not wearing a freaking mask, much less a respirator. Because if you have allergies, the last thing on earth you need is to breathe a bunch of stone dust. The stupid, it doth offend!
