こなばんは。How’s it going?

So a couple weeks ago we got a special deal on some Omaha Steaks items. We’ve never bought anything from the company before, so this was a new experience for us. I was surprised that they offer more items than just steaks, for instance, we ordered fish stuffed with scallops and crab, chicken fried steaks, cheesy baked potatoes, and Signature Burgers. Plus we got filet mignon. 😊

But tonight we had the Signature Burgers, which came in vacuum-sealed packages and sized perfectly for an average-sized bun. We pan-fried them and they came out juicy and plump. These aren’t too thin, nor too thick, and fried over high-heat, a delicious crust formed. They were delicious! 🍔

I hope you had a great day!

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Tonight I did a little watercolor of my pineapple ukulele. And by little, I mean A5 size. You see, since I switched to the A5-sized binder, I’ve been waiting for the special Carl 20-hole punch to arrive so that I can add any kind of paper to the binder without using tape or glue. I am excited to be able to add watercolor paper at A5 size, or actually any size A5 or smaller.

So tonight I created this on a hand-cut piece of watercolor paper, then used the new hole-punch, and added it to the binder. I think it is going to work out nicely!

I hope you had a nice day!

Tonight I decided to put my Fujifilm X-T10 in black and white (yellow filter) film simulation and take some snapshots around the house, using the 35mm f/2 WR lens. It’s a lot of fun!

Here’s an illustration I did after listening to one of my favorite songs: “Half a Person” by The Smiths. On her headphones are the lyrics, “Sixteen, clumsy, and shy… that’s the story of my life.” Although Morrissey is referring to himself in the lyrics, I think many of us could relate.

Give the song a listen! 🎶

To see all the sketches I’ve been working on, you can check out the Flickr album “My Sketching Journey”, or my Instagram account barron.sketches which I created just for posting sketches, watercolors, and stationery items.
