the roamer<a href="https://tenforward.social/@packetcat" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@packetcat</a> [Reposting, as earlier message vanished when I tried an edit.]I love the ampersand, not as a systematic tool but as a subtle inflection of my written voice.I use it regularly but sparingly.The ampersand is a sign of familiarity between friends. A tease, an indication of trust.The ampersand is a flirt with the reader.Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.

Thomas SchmallOutside painting weather is back, baby! It's unusually dry this year, but later this week it's warm enough again to stay outside. I finished this <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> last year - starting in a garden in our village. I wanted to catch the effect of the warm sunlight seeping through the roof onto the grape vines. <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/ink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ink</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/Watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Watercolor</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/Amsterdam?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amsterdam</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/AmsterdamNoord?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmsterdamNoord</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/Ampersand?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ampersand</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/アート?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#アート</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/fineart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fineart</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/イラスト?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#イラスト</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/gemälde?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gemälde</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/contemporyart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#contemporyart</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/ペン画?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ペン画</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/penandink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#penandink</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/fountainpen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fountainpen</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/aquarell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aquarell</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/aquarelleart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aquarelleart</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/watercolorpainting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolorpainting</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/mixedmedia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mixedmedia</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/絵画?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#絵画</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/芸術?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#芸術</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/artistsonpixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artistsonpixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/FediArt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediArt</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/Art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Art</a> <a href="https://pixey.org/discover/tags/Illustration?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Illustration</a>
