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.

My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night. He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988. That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it. Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer. My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked. The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer. It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976. I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties. My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date. Here is a close up of...
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...
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...

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.
