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
