snow up in the sierra watercolour, about twenty minutes ago; from a pic we took in squaw valley, back in march. This scene is about two hours' drive from where we live, but yolo county is flat and yellow and brown, while the sierra nevadas are massive and blue and white. It doesn't snow in davis, but it does in truckee, hell yeah. The scanner made the blues a bit bluer than the original, and the sky above doesn't look much like it does in the painting, but you get the idea. Sometimes you gain something by scanning, sometimes you don't. It's december, and pete felt that a little wintery scene was needed, as Christmas has begun, as far as the world is concerned. Watched rick steve's "european christmas" programme on pbs earlier; how does rick steves get around all those countries on christmas eve? hmmm. Is rick steves real, or just a guy in a suit (and wig and glasses and reindeer sweater)? When did you first realise rick steves was just made up? answers on a watercolour postcard

Red Queen / Website (4.12.06 09:50) I had to look Rick Steves up to find out who he was, and heartily think he should benefit from a name swap: Stick Reeves, it somehow sounds less stupid than the original. Do you mean he was made up as in having make-up on, or as in he never existed?

petescully (4.12.06 16:17) I mean just pretend. i think, or is that a kids tv show with a badly made puppet caterpillar (that's going back a bit eh)

Jana Bouc / Website (10.12.06 16:43) This is beautiful! I haven't been up to the Sierras in way too long. Thanks for the reminder of what I'm missing.
