Pineapple Weed
You’ve probably walked over hardy pineapple-weed (Matricaria discoidea) often enough if you’ve walked at the boulevard, and never noticed it. An annual herb, this miniature plant with fern-like leaves thrives with full sun in roadside gravel or the disturbed, compacted earth along sidewalks.
When crushed the leaf or flower emits a scent of pineapple or chamomile, it’s cousin, though it’s funny green head lacks the pretty petals of chamomile.
It’s uses include:
Some caution is advisable as some individuals are allergic to this plant.
Native to northwestern North American but found in northeastern America, northeast Asia, and Europe. A ruderal species.

“Painters who are not colorists produce illumination and not painting….color gives the appearance of life.”

Beginning Painting
The Equipment
a portable easel
for beginners I recommend 3 colors: cad yellow medium, grumbacher red, cobalt blue and white, a small jar of oil painting medium and some gessoed boards, a few brushes (boar bristle is fine)
if you try painting and want to continue, you will want to invest in more colors, brushes, medium and an easel for outdoor painting
Here is My Paint Box and supplies;
Here’s my french easel set-up for painting:
a few big brushes, a few rounds, maybe a filbert, a small brayer.
My colors:
cad yellow light
lemon yellow
cad yellow medium
yellow ochre
raw sienna
burnt sienna
grumbacher red (napthol red)
alizarin crimson
pthalo green
winsor blue (pthalo blue)
cobalt blue
ultramarine blue
grumbacher pre-test white, original formula (titanium white)
medium: 1 part stand oil, 1 part damar, 1 part turp

After my Daily Meditating session I took these Photos of the Adventure at the Marine Railways.
In a few weeks I’ll have to find a quiet spot, because this parking lot will be filled.

I found Nancy Starting a Watercolor Painting of Smith’s Cove down at the North Shore Arts Assocations parking lot.

Due to weather conditions the class was held in Deb Clarke’s House. There were three students; Tom, Liz and myself.
Spot Color Painting was the assignment. Spot color painting is where you pick a color and relate that color to the rest of the painting. Debbie began by giving a spot color demonstration. Tom picked a scene outside one of Deb’s windows, Liz picked a hanging candle lamp and I picked a high shelf with three colored wine glasses and two silver pictures. Deb’s Knowledge of art, painting and color instincts are very inspiriring. The two hours flew by. I can’t wait for next week! Anyone whoever has thought about taking up painting should give it try. Twentyfive dollars is a great deal for the infomation you receive.

From: Deb Clarke
This is Karen, the completed work documented in my earlier ‘wip’ in the series “Faces I Remember”. It is finished. During the process that brought the work to this point I was continually critiquing the work. I kept trying to get the eyes above the one third, but my inclination was to keep cutting the ‘shape’ down. This morning I finally decided to find the center of my canvas. Wouldn’t you know it? French painter Pierre Bonnard’s words critiqued the work, he said: “There should be nothing in the center of a painting.” Then portrait artist Helen Van Wyck words critiqued the work: “In a portrait the eyes should be around the one third point.” then I said: The Hell you say! I’m still in training! This is Karen and this is the way I do it. I broke the rules, yet it works. why? because it is didactic and self referential. so, there.
