Paint In

This morning it was raining, but turned out just cloudy the rest of the day and in the 50's. My best friend, Marcia came out to paint with me. She always brings me art supplies and unique things, to paint. She really spoils me! We painted on canvas, the Grisaille technique, one of Linda Coulter's , Magnolias. She also brought a Delft Painting Technique. I'll hopefully get these finished next week, for sure.
Vernon made us Pizza for lunch and Melinda brought over a Fruit Pizza, Yummmm.
How's that for a Paint-In? A wonderful day, indeed! Just wish we lived closer together.

Sorrow

We've had a sorrowful journey this past weekend. Vernon's sister, Mattie who was 94 years old, died, Saturday and was buried this Monday. Traveled to West Virginia for services.
It was bitter cold with some snow on the ground.

I notice the Finch bird feeder needs refilling. There are always a lot of Finches here.
I can hardly wait for Spring this year.

Blustery Day!

It has been one blustery day! Sky darkens, snow fluries, windy, then before you know it, the sun is shinning! Like March weather used to be.
We had a little trip to the Vet today. We have two Siamese cats, one we got from the shelter and she was spayed shortly after getting her. Then we found Chloe, and she is just now getting her surgery. Poor little thing, is just now waking up good, so she can walk straight now, (smile).
I know all you out there who have pets, they are like our "fur babies" and we love them.

Paradise Lost

This week has been sort of a blur. Started with headache, Abdominal cramps and contined all week, today much better, hopefull it will all be gone before long. I don't make a good patient! Just sort of go to bed and cover up my head an don't bother me, lol. That sound terrible, now that I've written it. lol. Maybe I'll have something to show next week.
Our power went off again yesterday for a few hours but thankfully, before darkness arrived, it came back on. Vernon still working on generator!

Creative Day

Monday wasn't the usual "Blue Monday". I accompolished some things today.
I painted a Memory Box for a friend and did two ATC cards.
Base coated the inside of 3 more boxes for the Memory Box Program. So, I'm really happy. Thought I'd put the MB picture up.

A New Day

Here it is, the first day of another week! Our snow is melted and it was warm today.
I am determined to get up early in the morning and get something accompolished by the end of the day. Wednesday, I work at the Gallery, so will gather up something to keep me occupied there. Maybe take Colored Pencils and work on a design I've already started on suade paper . I also want to do more ATC for trading with other artists.
