post for November
Someday I'll go back and fill in all of these with something creative or profound. Someday.

Inktober 2018
An attempt was made...
Through online sharing sites I noticed last year Inktober, and though I am late to the party (as usual) and gleaning snippets of what this is about with no concrete , I gathered it was for artists to post online an ink drawing for each day of October. I anticipated my participation in Sept as Inktober came around again this year, and was quickly overwhelmed by this daunting challenge.
I guess its hard because I make it hard on myself. Lines crisp, shapes precise, composition planned, decisions weighed and deliberate. Mistakes are to be avoided lest they hamper the intended result. As we just passed Bob Ross birthday We dont make mistakes, we just have happy accidents. - a nice sentiment, but easier said than done for me personally. I just dont _relax_.
I was dissatisfied with some attempts not meeting my expectations, I didnt want to just submit squiggles on the back of a napkin. Fell short of my monthly quota, but quality over quantity.
Here is my Inktober. Enjoy.

On boats in September
September was marked by two boat trips; a long weekend to Newcastle and Protection Island, and a cruise tour in Harrison Lake.

back from travels
Returned from England, France, and Nova Scotia. It felt like this trip wasn't really 'mine', I was merely a facilitator. Still I got to see some things I wanted to, and I didn't kill any of our travel group. It will take me a while to write a full report, so this is a quick note for now.

Too busy moving/doing to compose something detailed here. More later. Cheers.
