August in the Studio

One must be careful to dodge hummingbirds when using cadmium red…. I’m rolling up my brushes, packing my paints, and heading into the field.
Happy last days of summer!

Signs I Like
The Union Street Post Office Barbershop, Seattle, somewhere in the last century
__________________________________________________________________________________________
This picture was taken approximately thirty years ago, with an old camera and lots of specks on the lens for that unretouched vintage look. This sign has an artless beauty that could make a professional sign painter cringe. But it does a poet’s heart good. Are there two barbers in this shop? Or is the shop open to barbers…..and if so can you imagine the scene, all the barbers snipping away at each other and lathering each others’ chins to shave the old fashioned way with razors sharpened on a strop.
