[[strikethrough]] Thurs [[/strikethrough]]Thurs What a good day. Perfect weather. Weeded garden in am, fixed door, photographed studio now that it's so nice. Dumped garbage off rocks + walked for pool to pool. Algae, mussels, color, gulls, a low tide. In afternoon thin cathedral woods (how quiet) to Little Wh. Hd. [[White Head]] cool - clear - a dark brown sea, + White Hd a classical headland shape. Dig 3 or 4 bl + wh. acrylic washes - (new media!) - came back with a bag of coral mushroom + some sphagnum. -
