Calculated Shot
6x6, soft pastel
My “plein air” piece from yesterday at Edward’s greenhouse was a disaster...so I came up with this piece instead. Of 3 paintings yesterday, only one survived the cut.
I know, I know...I’m really aging myself using my HP12C for this piece. But, it’s my very favorite calculator (my only one) and still works like a charm. Someone on the internet wrote recently that calculators were obsolete since everyone can now “google” the answer to all their calculating needs. Surely calculators won’t become obsolete will they? I hope not.

A funny thing about this one...there’s a red dot reflecting in several areas within the shot glass. The HP doesn’t have a red dot anywhere on it but I added one in nail polish so my husband didn’t get it confused with his own. I guess we get a bit possessive of our calculators. 😊
