Because too much time has past from my last post to catch up, I'll just start a few steps ago. Here's a painting I did "just for fun", and it shows too, don't you think?
Since I wrote last, I've been to Malibu and taught a wonderful group of women for two glorious days (I wish I had pics but I didn't take out my camera, even once. shame. but I know you love photos so I took a pic of some of my salt collection instead. The big rock is one I found on the Oregon coast.
A few days after I got back from Malibu, we flew to Denver to celebrate our youngest daughter's college graduation. Not only did she graduate with honors, but was also mother to 1 1/2 year old Jackson during this last leg of the journey. We're so proud of both our daughters.
Three days after we got home from Denver, I drove myself to Portland where Judy and I drove together to meet up with friends Stephanie and Sue for a 3 night very-little-slumber party, that included great food, coversation and art making.
Sue is going to make this one into a pillow
One of the most fun things we did was collaborative fabric paintings - we'd paint for a time period then pass the work to the right where the next person worked on it, and so on.
This was one I took home and I've been playing around with stitching
this is the other beauty I took home
I'll end with a glimpse of stephanie's deck- rail-walking-chicken
I just love your painting of the face and the tree with small white blossoms. It is really lovely.
