These are small value studies that Terry did, using just one color. i think they are wonderful!This is the only thing I worked on in art group this morning. It is a small 6x8 of Fremont Lake. I have to tell you where it is, otherwise, you might not recognize it! I wanted to attempt big puffy clouds, and didn't quite achieve it. But the part I like is the water. I had read about rubbing a candle on watercolor paper, so I tried it in the water area to preserve some whites for the "sparkle". I like the way it turned out.
Our art group grew today, and it was great to have Cindy Smith and Lynn Thomas join us. I hope they come back.
I have been noticing the shadow of a large bird out my window. I watched, and I think it is Red Tail Hawk. It was carrying sticks into the trees just down the ditchbank from me. Today, I could see the nest, and see the hawk come in and move around on it I won't be able to see the nest when the trees leaf out, but if a pair of hawks actually nest there, I should be able to watch them bring in food for the babies.
The Kat and I had a confrontation last night. I think I won. She had jumped up on the bookshelp at the top of the stairs, when I shooed her down, she knocked off a small piece of paper and grabbed it. When I tried to take it away from her, she fought back. I ended up standing on her tail and grabbing her by the back of her neck. I had no idea a cat could almost turn around inside their skin and still get in a few bites and scratches. As soon as I get her spayed, she is definitely spending more time outside. Maybe some of the other cats will beat her up and take care of her attitude.
Hey Mrs. Raper, this is Sarah Hunt, Terry's daughter. She told me about an extra camera you have and might be wanting to sell. I was wondering what it was. Do you think you could send me some information on it. My email is sayhunt@hotmail.com.
ReplyDeleteBy the way thanks for posting my mom's artwork on your blog. She would never do that herself and it means alot to me to be able to see them. I think she is doing really well and I know it is something she has always wanted to do. She talks about the art group a lot. So thanks for being there for her. It is nice to know she is having fun since I can't be there to take care of her and be with her.
