So sad to be nearing the end of the class. We did mockingbird nests this week. <br />
<br />
Somehow the cat toy just needed to be in the picture.<br />

It's been awhile. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's been a grand baby, several trips to lots of places, two surgeries and that's a lot of mileage for this old lady! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This tree was inspired by an online class by Val Webb. I did it with my paint brush padded and wrapped as I am still recovering from hand surgery, but glad to be back at making art. I missed it!<br /></div>

No. I mean Amazon Shopping Giraffe! Our Sketchbook Skool ( sic ) assignment was to get a realistic toy and then draw it from several angles. This giraffe keeps on multiplying, right across the page!<br />

I collected some fonts from a library book so I can refer to them as I journal. <br />
<br />
<br />
Then this morning I woke up to a broken tomato plant on the front porch. I tried to capture it as my daily entry.<br />

My online class discussed the Bower bird who collects gewgaws to attract his mate. Not sure my collection of geegaws has any good impact on my mate, but I could identify with the bird!<br />

We were supposed to do a background and colors and then details, I did the yarn jar that has my extra-soft baby yarn. I bought a big jar of cheese balls and Mike ate his way through it so I could have the jar.</div>

I have a sweater in progress … can't wait to finish it for our new grand baby-to-be.<br />

I am really going to miss my Chinese brush painting classes. The squiggles above the red are my name, and the large character says "thank you. " The flower is a spontaneous style orchid.<br />

<br />
