Winter at the River

Here in Indiana we have had a pretty mild winter.  We did have that artic blast of cold weather a while back but only one light snow.  

Today I woke up to almost 2" of that white stuff.  So I had to take to the road for a photo shoot.  It's been a long day of taking photos and just now  I spent a few hours editing my photos.  Great day.  So much I want to paint.  Glad I recently purchased a bunch of art supplies.  I am ready....

Snow's Melting

Yesterday and today I woke up early to SNOW.  it was really lovely,  but it melted off the streets and sidewalks.  Yay.

Currently I am taking a 4 day workshop on line called WATERCOLOR LIVE.
Today was the second day.  Wow.  These are really long days that are packed full of so much information.  All the demonstrators have been extremely knowledgeable.   I already signed up for next year.  This is their 3rd year for this workshop and yes, I have taken all of them.

Now it's time to hit the internet and shop for some neat art supplies that I heard about today...

I have been busy with the holidays and I have been painting a lot....so maybe that is why I haven't posted on my blog in ages.... I will try to do better.

Here in Indiana, near Chicago we have been snow free (except for that Christmas Storm).  The temps have been good. too....not Florida weather ...but wait,  I think it's been rather cool there.

No matter where you are,  stay warm and healthy.  Do come back.

Thought I would paint a few dolls as a different subject matter....Hope you enjoy them and they bring back memories to you and days of your youth.  Perhaps you had this doll.  I didn't have this one.

Today was spent raking up more of the leaves...wish this season would last longer. We are experiencing almost 70 degree weather here in Indiana near Chicago.   So  Awesome!

 Happy Fall Everyone....the days are still nice and warm here.  Perfect for raking up the leaves....and boy do we get the leaves.  We have had a very colorful fall this year.  Last year I fell and broke a few bones so I was unable to really enjoy it, and I definitely couldn't paint it.
  I made up for it this year.  Took lots of photos and then I have been painting many fall scenes.  Maybe that is why I can't find time to keep this up to date.  I will keep trying to do that.  But in the mean time I will continue to paint.

Enjoy the FALL season.

Fall is in the air....but the color isn't here yet in Indiana.  I did find these Sawtooth Daisies along the side of the road.  
It's October now so time to change the decor and welcome Autumn.  Here's to a new color palette to paint with.
