the night light is attracting a lot of small moths.

ipad.art set 4/erasing a layer

 21.2.1: proj.cyb/ipad.art set 4/erasing a layer:

. after a base layer, I filled a 2nd layer

and then activated both erase and linedraw.

. the color fill didn't include the paper's texture

but painting on it brought the texture back.

(brush/wash/damp) made it look like a water color.

. used (blend/sponge blender) 

to make the erasure lines less crisp.

. added some more erasure shaped with (marker pen round)

happy birthday, mom!

2020.4.24:
first the god made the world
to hold our feelings,
then the god made humans
to appreciate our world;
and when I became fully human
I came to appreciate my mom
and the way she worked the garden of my life:
planting the seeds and pulling the weeds,
opening the light, and asking our god
for the attention a struggling life needs.
I'm thanking the god for this world,
these feelings, and my mom;
happy birthday 2020, mom!
