Gauges, Switch and Knobs
Just a section of a panel of gauges on a mobile water pump owned by the state park. It's taking me a bit longer to complete my smaller paintings--I'm painting from 9:30am till 4pm while my granddaughter is in preschool. Watercolor, 7"x 7" SOLD

This is wonderful, Susan. I love your use colors to depict interesting textures.
This painting is AB FAB as one of my professors used to say! LOVE it.
Oh. And more on the ego and a fluctuating sense of SELF. I watched Charlie Rose the other night when he led a panel of CEO's in a discussion on the topic of leadership. I just loved what this man had to say:
On the question of leadership, Jeffrey R. Immelt M.B.A. ’82, General Electric chairman and CEO, said decisiveness, accountability, transparency, and unity all play critical roles — as well as a strong sense of self.
“In some ways it’s an intense journey into yourself. It’s about how much you want to learn; it’s about how much you want to give; it’s about personal change and just being willing to kind of renew yourself almost every day,” said the CEO, who admitted to taking every criticism personally, but also cited a happy resilience.
“I go to bed at night and … say, ‘Gosh, I’m such a failure,’ and I get up the next morning, look in the mirror, and say, ‘Hello, handsome!’”

Thank you Takeyce!
Yes Martha, night time is a tough time for my ego--nights are rough--days are good!
