during the Fire & Ice Festival.

Two classes today, a trip to Roots Market for

2012 Red Barn #1

6"x4" Miniature Original
Available on eBay... Opening bid only $100.

I am concentrating on red barns this week.
Simply for a different study and focus.

I was absent from blogging all last week, Linda
had a bad cough and head cold so I blatantly used
this as an excuse to goof off a bit under the guise
of taking care of her! I know she is sick when she
isn't paying any attention to what I am doing!!
I did teach 5 classes and exhibited in the Fire & Ice
Festival over the weekend.
This photo was taken by Terri Shadle, photographer at the Fire & Ice Festival.
My steady hand working on a miniature
as a demonstration. Red barn blog for later
this week!

Reliving France a bit...  this has interesting
angles and soft washes.

Spent the weekend with our friend Joan
celebrating her 60th birthday! Also a
shout out to my good friend and riding buddy
Bruce who also had a birthday on Saturday.
I taught a class today and painted inbetween.
Linda was cleaning out a closet in the studio
and we have a big box of trash to go out!

Remembering France

5"x 5" Original watercolor

I needed to shake it up a bit so I went
through some photos from France.
I liked the balance of color.

Teaching today.  Not much time for
anything else.
