Boardwalk Days part 52

I thought about what I would do today, just two days after I last printed.  The newly printed things may still be wet, so I don't want to color those.  And the thing I made some repairs on is the latest boardwalk print- just a few spots of ink, but I wanted to avoid those.   But in the end, that is what I decided to work on, so I avoided those areas of the print and the colors I would need for those.  I may have done some gray today, but now I decided to go with some earth reds, still a warm and light color.  No Molly today, so I listened to the music I brought, my rock/pop book, and specifically the Beatles legendary white album, written about here back in January of 2020.  

No ink to clean up today, so I knew things would go a little faster.  Just had to fill up my can with water, using the sink in our room.  I took the finished test one down from the wall, which I didn't need for the brick and dark red things I expected to do, but it came in handy for some of the other bits of color I did today.  Results are below:


Since I didn't want to do any of the neutral grays, I did the pavers in the foreground, the various earth reds,  a slightly faded red (the more intense version will wait until I do darker and more intense colors), some brown, some yellow, some orange.  I put it back in the rack to continue drying, put everything back on my table, and headed home for lunch.
