And I'm glad you didn't wait tooting. Perfect results don't tell this story, they are the ending. I suppose a lot of us recognize the struggle.

Open post EtchedMoments @EtchedMoments@pixelfed.art · 5mo ago Replying to @Bishopjoey@writing.exchange <p>A friend of mine passed away last week (late 70s, well loved, surrounded by family) and the funeral was yesterday. I watched a bit of the stream, but I was at a family gathering and couldn't go back all teared up. This showed up in my memories and I like to think this is how Bob went (from Ray Bradbury's Farewell Summer)...</p> thanks for sharing.
Open post EtchedMoments @EtchedMoments@pixelfed.art · 6mo ago Replying to @Ulisu@mastodon.art <p>I have been trying to quickly capture my father’s living room. Happy with how parts turned out, though it’s hard to get a cohesive composition with so many part in it. Also, the glare is quite brutal so it photographed quite poorly. Anyways, I don’t paint lots of interiors, wanted to try it.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/interiors" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>interiors</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/oilpainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>oilpainting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>painting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/livingroom" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>livingroom</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/allaprima" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>allaprima</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/pleinair" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pleinair</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/mastoart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mastoart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/fediart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fediart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/kunst" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kunst</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/Schilderij" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Schilderij</span></a></p> Very nice.
