Baby Elephant Walk.....

Makes me think of the Henri Mancini tune from the early 1960's.
I took my niece Allison and her two little ones Aidan and Dylan to the Wild Animal park near San Diego. It was the first time for all three of them. Dylan at 2 months was very good and slept through most of the day, Aidan had the most fun seeing all the wild animals. The highlights of our visit were the Hippo pooping, the grand lion that didn't roar, the giraffe with the long tongue and the gorillas that always give a great show!
I managed some pretty bad sketches except for this one that I rather like.

Art Exchange
Sunday, March 8, 2009

6:37 PM
I am involved with 4 other online friends and artists in an exchange. Sharon from Flat Sound of Wooden Shoes invited a few of us to join her and share our art with each other. I got my first piece of art from Laura from Laura's Watercolors. She does beautiful work and I was so thrilled to receive one of her originals.
The three of us that are left have yet to complete our end of the deal. Jennifer from Jennifer Lawson is on her way back to Bali so it is going to take her a bit longer and my only excuse is life just gets in the way. But I have begun my contributions to the exchange and am half way done. I am humbled by the vast amount of talent in our online art world. How fortunate to receive these beautiful originals from such talented artists.

A few days later Sherry's contribution from Late B(l)oomer arrived at my door. Again, I was so excited to receive yet another fantastic piece of art. Her brightly plumed rooster seems like he can almost prance off the yupo paper she laid him on!

Art Interrupted
Wednesday, March 4, 2009

6:42 PM
On Sunday I had every intention of spending the day in the studio working on a project for an art exchange I am in with some online friends. I was honored to be invited but with that comes the apprehensiveness of "my stuffs not that good" "what did I get myself into?" "someone really wants something I created?" "what if I can't meet the deadline?" etc.... And now with two art classes going even more procrastinating. But on the other hand, I excited about participating and have already received two wonderful pieces (I'll post soon). But, back to Sunday. Well we all know that I opted for the beach with the little ones and off I went!
Tuesday then was going to be my studio day! Yes, finally a day to myself! But Rudy surprised me that he was off till Friday this week. That's okay, I'll run errands with him in the morning and work in the studio in the afternoon. I was prepared, had gotten my supplies together the night before, stopped for what I need from the grocery store....good to go.
But as I walked in the house the phone rang and my niece Allison asked if I wouldn't mind watching the baby because Aidan was running a high fever and she was running to the doctor's with him. Of course I could help her out! So, no studio afternoon as I had planned. But the baby is a joy and I loved getting to spend time with him. He soon dozed off to sleep and I put him up on the big ottoman, grabbed my moleskine wc sketchbook and went to work. Well, he woke up crying but by then I had just about finished the little sketch.
So maybe tomorrow I can get to my project?

Perfect start to March

I had it all figured out today. Up at 7am, went downstairs and in the quiet of morning I made blueberry muffins, a pot of coffee and planned for a day in the studio painting. But after breakfast I ran over to my sister's to visit with the grandkids (hers). Before I knew it I was excited about going to the beach with my niece Allison and her husband and her two babies and my Annie. What a splendid idea it was and we all enjoyed the day. Except Aidan of course who was afraid of the waves. When he saw me start to sketch and paint he
came right over with his paper and paints too. Soon frustrated because his brush and paints "don't work!!!" I let him use nina's extra brush and her paints.....which DO WORK. So, no studio day but what a great beach art day it was!!!!
