Wednesday September 10

It's a beatiful fall day, cool and crispy and a little rain. The trees are starting to turn colors in town. I can see several along the creek that look really golden. I think they are cottonwoods. Fall is my favorite season.

We had what could be considered a crowd at the art group this morning!! Nine of us were there, and Terry baked a yummy peach pie. I should have taken my camera and taken a picture of all of us.

I started a watercolor on my 300 lb. paper, and it looks like it somehow got damaged in the 25 or so years it was stored in my basement. (Who can figure?) I started with the sky, and there were lines across it. I didn't think the colors looked pure, either. I will try something on the other side of the paper, but it could be damaged too. Can watercolor paper get too old??

Bathtime

This is Tracy's dog, Bogie, and Rowdy, the cat. When they first got Rowdy as a kitten, Bogie would lick him. As time went on, this became a daily routine with the two of them. Bogie cleaned and cleaned the cat, and the cat loved it.
