Filler: Watercolor barn edition

Have I been grasping for things to do to disengage?  Yes, I have.  I painted a barn during a paintalong with Sandy Allnock.  It’s been a long time since I’ve painted.  A very long time.

Filler: Abomination

I’ve been trying my hand at Copperplate calligraphy recently.  I thought this “Abomination” was pretty nice.  Except for the slight blob at the leader for the “b.”  I think something was stuck in the tines of my nib.  And also the uneven cross bar of the “t.”  Still working on that.

Why “Abomination”?  Why not?
