Writing gives me another
excuse not to clean house.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
When you make a water color error - you say "I meant it to be that way." Especially after every part of the painting went well until you got to the cat.
there were three barns. well, two and a small shed. cat on top of rickety shed in front of old barn, and the other barn just casting shadow. And the rickety shed had the old tin roof.
your're right. what is it. more than I bargained for.
The artist is always more critical on her own work. . . I like the calico kitty on the roof. . . If you hadn't told us it was a mistake we wouldn't have ever known. . .
I thought it was a photo for a minute too. Very beautiful. Oh, I used to water color before kids...not as well as you however! I keep meaning to start again, you inspire me.

When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill, a warm Chinook wind blew in. It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms. It is forecast that Christmas will be warm and no white stuff falling. At least not here. **** May there be moments of peace and hope in your hearts as you celebrate this holiday. Hug each other. Feed the birds ****
Our Fun Monday Host this week is Molly, Return of the White Robin . She requested that we share a fond memory of childhood and some pictures. There are very few pictures of my childhood. There are, however, many memories. Little snippets of sounds and smells raced through my mind today as I tried to find a trail to follow. I jotted down many that I hoped would provide me with an idea for today's assignment. Then, I realized that these little bits and pieces are part of the jig saw puzzle of me -- of who I am. You don't have to put them together, but I think you'll see the picture. Childhood Memories The chorus of frogs from the pond in the lower pasture that lulled us to sleep on warm summer nights. Catching polliwogs in the creek that disappeared several pastures over into a foliage camouflaged ravine. The distinct sweet smell of new born kittens inside a barrel in the fruit house The hunt for the elusive Tiger Lily in the open fields, and the pungent s...
Quirky Lisa (Lisa's Chaos) is today's Hostess with the mostess quirks. She used the following instructions to enlighten us about today's topic: A quirk is defined as a peculiarity of action, behavior, or personality; mannerism. We are all unique individuals, having quirks that help make us who we are. I would like to know what your quirks are. Confess to one, confess to ten, you decide. Just come back Monday ready to spill the beans, the rest of the world may look at you like you are from Mars, but you‘re among friends here. We won’t laugh, in fact that eccentricity just may endear you to us more. Well ...I'm being as quirky as Swampwitch today. I'm sorta following the rules, and sorta not. Instead of hearing about my boring quirkiness, you are being treated to an old story about a quirky cat. * * * * Daggett was a cat with very odd behavior. I like to think she channeled my monthly mood swings. But, her excuse may be that her head was slightly injured in a c...

more than I bargained for.
But I really liked the colors used
I think it's gorgeous.
You're inspiring me to look for a community ed painting class. I think it would be fun to do it with Deena.
But here in the boonies, opportunities like that are hard to find. I'll keep trying!
Great picture! My son loves to paint, draw barn scenes. He's pretty good at it, i'd like to get him into art lessons but there are none around here.
Are you going to write anymore about your grandfather? That was good stuff sista!
I really love the colors and the shadow is perfect. Thanks for sharing.
