Al Fresco Art Challenge Oct 27: Headphones

As the paint-a-common-object trend continues at our Al Fresco Art Club Sunday Challenge, I drew and painted my headphones. I had to think a bit before I settled on painting them. At first I had wandered around the house looking for something that was common and interesting. After a few minutes, I realized that I don’t have many knickknacks of interest, except maybe my old California license plates. But, painting a flat rectangle didn’t seem interesting or challenging. I finally settled on my headphones because the coiled cord appealed to me. Here’s what I came up with.

Al Fresco Art Club -- Infrared Thermometer

Today was a weird day. For the first time in years I worked on my day job at home. I lost my free time. I hate working off the clock. I hate losing my weekends. I hate losing my family time.

But, the saving grace of this particular day was a great walk in the morning, a stop at a local coffee shop with my partner (I had a soy cappuccino and she had a fancy turmeric gold drink), and finally, the weekly Al Fresco Art Club meeting. Today I painted our infrared thermometer, which I use to make sure the hot water is exactly 185 F for my pour-over coffee.
