It's a FRIDAY...

oops...I had to come back and edit this.

I am going to leave it this way for now.

THIS

is not the elephant I'm giving our daughter!

You may laugh, I am...

I kept looking at this thinking the color is off. What the heck and bingo. This is a second rendition of the first elephant.

I don't have a photo of the first and by husband has my camera in another country! darn!

so later I will post the real one.

YEAH...the joke is on me ;)

 

 

YEP!

Its that time of year,

OUTSIDE TIME!

Fresh air,

balmy winds,

the promise of a long hot summer...

 

so...

THIS IS IT

for now.

I matted and framed it for our daughter Erin to surprise her after she oohed and ahhed over it.

 

I am also getting ready for the art walk.

GOOD and BUSY times.

 

WONDERFUL TIMES!

happy weekends ALL

;)

INTRIGUING THURSDAY...

 I have been getting prepared for this summers art walk in a nearby town.

I started earlier this year and realized why I get so manic when the date nears (it takes me longer to figure things out than most humans)

And

this is the time when I want to just lay that paper and paint down and do nothing else.

So...I'm still a crazed person till June 3.

 

My husband Richard just smiles and shakes his head, lucky me ;)

 

16" x 20" x 1" gallery wrapped

 

 

 Richard and I read this old journal from cover to cover.

it was a year of a man's life that was helping engineer

railroads.

it was so intriguing and fun and that husband of mine explained just what they were talking about when I didn't understand.

I have already used some of these pages in my paintings...

ack!!! I know, but well...there it is.

 

 

 

this is a section of a large painting.

I just can't get a good photo of it.

you KNOW how that yellow can act!!!

 

the "smile" is from a full stamp I made and love so much.

again I have to hold myself back from putting it into all my paintings.

 

 Happy Thursday
