This is your reminder to try consider giving “outlandish” ideas a try instead of dismissing them.
I’ve been painting miniature horses as gifts for some horse owner friends of mine, and this horse has been bugging me for days because I could NOT get the brown “golden” enough.
So earlier I thought “what if I paint it bright yellow?”
So I did. Then I dry brushed Raw Sienna (kind of a coppery brown) over the top and it’s almost perfect to the colour I’ve been looking for.

If you are looking at any subject you know the slightest thing about, it's usualy totally wrong.
It surprises me, perhaps it shouldn't, how bad the google generative AI summary on searches is. So often it's totally incorrect.
Noticed this trend in recent times where large numbers of people on the socials declare anybody they don't like as narcissistic.

Enjoying the new Shetland, it's so well made. I wouldn't say I miss Jimmy Perez's detective but do wonder what he'd make of it all.
Fedora Sway is great. Takes the pain out of that initial dotfile grind. #linux
The evening is just getting going here in EST and I don't know if this old man will make it to midnight so Happy New Year to you all and hope you have a great 2025.
Conway Yard from Pinney St. Bridge today. Took the boys out to watch the trains while my partner got caught up on sleep.
He has now moved closer and is pretending he's interested in something other than the plate
My dog, usually very skittish around strangers, charmed my guests last night, but it was all a ploy to steal cheesecake. The little shit.
