New Hampshire Earthquake

Yep! We had one last night! A small one, 2.5. Seems we have had about 3 or 4 earthquakes, since I moved into the state.

Been A Spell - Sorry!

Hi~

It's been a little while since I oosted and lots of things have been happening - some fun and some not so fun. Let's stick to the fun (I think that's a better story. Everyone has a bummer story and needn't to hear more, right? Stay positive and focus on the good)

"Well, what's the good" you ask?
A new laptop (or soon, at least) for starters. My old Mac Mini did a "not so mini meltdown". Pheuu I say because I never really liked the whole "workstation" set up and being tethered to the wall. No privacy and sometimes I like to curl up somewhere quiet with a good movie.

Taking a watercolor class Tuesday nights, at our high school. I always feared watercolor and thought I couldn't be so exact, the first time. Then I hit another painter's block which was driving me crazy. So when I saw the class offered my fingers hit "attend" before my brain could butt in. However, I am so glad I did sign up.

First week, we painted bleeding circles (better than bleeding hearts!); learning about how the colors blend, wet into wet. After the first week's class, I was so inspired I painted this:

10x8 Reference photo is another from the library of Wetcanvas - if you haven't checked WC out, you MUST. Even if you are not an artist... the work there is so wonderful and inspiring (it's not just a library of images)

Second week, A fun two week project; a tree with paisley leaves. Fun seeing all the different artist's interpretations of the directions. And this week, I am also working on a watercolor at home!

It's so incredible how much this has workshop helped with my painter's block and how it has allowed me to paint things I wouldn't have done in acrylics/oils!

Amazing Maize Maze Day!

Hi~ We visited the Trombly Gardens' Maze, today. Not the first time but always a fun time. (As usual, Meredith was her usual camera shy teen!)

Afterward, we visited the farm stand and bought some really yummy things.

Seaside Heights... Rebuilding AgAiN

So Sad about the New Jersey shore. The destructive fire is where that terrible storm wiped out so much of the board walk. After all the hard work to rebuild, it's mostly gone again. Please keep the place where I spent a lot of great times as a child, in your thoughts.

A Chick's Truck

Just finished this piece, not long ago. Been so crazy I haven't had a chance to post it.

Image for this painting was uploaded to WC's reference library by ruffledcat.
