Art Lessons

I spend some of my hobby related money on water color
even though I have had absolutely no art instruction
ever.

I do have a clear memory of, perhaps five years of age,
standing at an easel
staring at the blank paper.
Finally,
I painted a green line across the middle of the paper.
Grass.

My child-like whimsy persists.




I have decided that -- most likely in Florida this winter -- I will take some lessons.

    You definitely have an artistic flair. Art lessons would boost that flair.

    You have a lot of talent, and with a few lessons, you may really develop it. Then you'll be asking hundreds of thousands of dollars for your paintings!

    I love your paintings and the innocence in them! I think it is wonderful that you are going to treat yourself to art lessons. Before this year is out I am going to treat myself to some photography lessons!

    It looks like you already have pretty good control of the medium. I think you would love taking lessons. Good for you.

    Agree, some nice things here. I wish I had your talent ... I'd even have trouble drawing that green line.

    Love that bunny. I say go for the lessons. It will keep your brush to the easel so to speak. I thought about it when I retired but didn't. Be smarter than me.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!
