Painting Outdoors

I'm so sorry those dumpsters are in the way. I keep trying to find a way to block them from view.

 

This visit was a chance to show one of my sister's the paintings I'd been working on the last few Months. She'd seen photos but that's just not the same experience as seeing the texture and everything in person.

Excuse the extra pictures here. I just haven't figured out how to remove them yet.

It seems that every time I get used to the way things work the tech people change them.

I hope that everything is running smoothly for you. I'd like your reading experience to be a pleasant one.

 Sometimes get togethers are just to visit, sometimes we paint our own things, occasionally we choose a project and as this time, sometimes we just evaluate the results.

The important thing is to encourage each other and keep the creativity coming.

Celebrating My Veggie Garden

 I often have tea in the garden and on this day I decided to pick a few things for lunch on the way back to the house so I just stuck them in my teacup and saucer and loved the look of it so much that I decided to paint it to remember the day by.

I started by taking a photo to work on after we'd eaten our salads for lunch.

oops!! I tried to
delete this.

I tried drawing and painting it in several types of media but I found eventually that watercolor worked best.

I'm trying to find the photos of the other attempts I made to capture this image I'll add them as soon as I can find them.

I keep the photo handy because I'm sure that I can do a better job of it eventually but this one will have to do for now.
