					<description><![CDATA[Anyone in search of an example of modern evolutionary pressure look no further than the common fly.&#160; Back in the city, like up high in the mountains, flies are ubiquitous. But unlike the mountains, the cities are filled streets, buildings, parks and coffee shops full of people. City flies need to be smart and fast.&#160; [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As Ferris Beuller wisely reminded us, life moves pretty fast. If you don&#8217;t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. I spend a lot of time rushing. And this shortcoming often applies to my painting, as well. Of course, one of the so-called rules of watercolour painting that I picked [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It’s been nearly six months since I wrote a note here, and regretfully that means I have passed by many opportunties for noting the slow but methodically forward learning that has happened in the intervening span. For example, my spring has been consumed by the most stereotypical of watercolour subject: flowers. You know. Close your [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I decided to repaint a picture this morning. Back in January of this year I snapped a bunch of wintery pics of the dog while we were out for a walk in the local dog park, a sprawling river valley forest woven with trails and interesting sights. A couple weeks after snapping those pics, I [&#8230;]]]></description>

People stop to take pictures of you while your sketching, look over your shoulder, and generally treat you as just as much part of the chaos [&#8230;]]]></description>

Maybe there is some kind of philosophical mindset we all need to embrace about living in the moment and being happy with where and when we currently are. I [&#8230;]]]></description>

Incremental self-improvement is fine, and I&#8217;m a huge advocate of digging into a problem on your own and trying to wade through the weeds to find the harvestable vegetables in the mess of it all. That said, having one&#8217;s hand held a little [&#8230;]]]></description>
