Hot, Humid Weather!

When it's too hot and humid to be outside, having a

place and the time to do art is a lifesaver!

This week's watercolor class was not a success for me.

I saw a few of the other students just taking off on

their own, not trying to follow the photo or sketch

that the instructor provided. The sketch was done in

very light pencil and copied so it was undecipherable.

The photo didn't look sharp to me but it may have been

my eyes. I made an attempt in class. Then I came home

and made mine into a pen and ink plus watercolor,

instead of just the watercolor painting.

Here's as far as I got in class:

And here is what I finished it up as when I got home:

And another gladiola painting for a birthday card.

Then I did a few mountain scenes:

My luncheon turned out to be a big success with the

ladies loving their bookmarks that I had made.

Sorry I missed last week but I really was too tired

to visit so I decided to skip the party at Paint Party Friday.

However, here is one last watercolor done in last week's class.

And a phone doodle from the call from my

sister in Arkansas.
