No News From the Merrills is Good News

We are doing our best to not be newsworthy.  Roger has a clinic appointment tomorrow, so we'll post our weekly health update then.   For now we are laying low.  He's been making art.  He's completed a dozen or so watercolors over the last month and has a few more in progress.

Work in progress
Roger's been forced by circumstances to work in a smaller scale and I, for one, couldn't be happier about it.  They are as beautiful as his gigantic paintings, and have that depth of color that makes them appear to change with the changing light throughout the day.  But these small watercolors have a more pedestrian feature that makes them more practical:  An average-sized home can accommodate them.  I know.  I'm ignorant when it comes to art.  What do I know?  ;-)

  3. From looking at "Siberia" here, I would not have guessed watercolor. Looking at the pictures before reading the day's entry, I was wondering if Roger had begun working oils or pastels in a smaller form. Love the color and depth in this one.
    Yeah, we know you know nothing about art, Candi. ;) Have you been taking some time to create lately?
