We finally did get some color but I didn't get out as much as I wanted.  I did get some fall photos of 2021....last two days we had lots of winds so most of the leaves are on the ground.  I am working on my gouache paintings of the sketches I did in my sketch book (with a broken arm).  But I am having fun.

Have a great weekend.

Went out on a photo shoot yesterday.  The sun came out for a bit and it is supposed to start getting cold.  Thought I better take advantage of the situation.  Well...it was a good idea, but then the sun went away and it started to rain.  I still took a bunch of neat photos, mostly of barns.  As I was just downloading them, I decided I just may have to start another sketchbook of barns.

The last few days it has been in the 60's.  It has been awesome.  Wish it could stay this way all winter and we could still have snow.  I am in no hurry to get that white stuff.  I can see it on the Hallmark Channel while watching Christmas movies.  lol.

The colors are finally changing here in Indiana.  Hope to go on a photo shot this week.  Enjoy the beauty of FALL....but don't fall.  one more week before i get my air cast off.  I am sure I will have physical therapy to attend.

Here is #2 in my gouache watercolor paintings.  I am painting these

on a mixed media board.  These are exciting to paint.  New type of 

board and opaque watercolors, where as I have been using transparent

watercolors for 50 years.  I will continue with transparent watercolor

when I can go back to using two hands....don't FALL and break anything.

Enjoy the fall.  I wish we would get another warm spell since I missed 

the last one.  Not a lot of color here in North wWst Indiana yet.  Sure hope

we get more color.

 Since I had this fall 6 weeks ago, I haven't been able to paint my usual watercolors with one hand.  So I completed a whole sketchbook in pencil and now I am painting some of my drawings from the book. The book is on barns and this is not in the sketch book...hence, no barn.  It's fun to try new mediums now and then.

Have a great fall weekend and Happy Halloween... May all you candy be chocolate.

Silos have really come a long way and so has the farming industry. Remember the wind mills you used to see with old barns....once in a while i can still find one.  Now we have turbines. I live about an hour and a half from turbine farms.  They are amazing to watch and see fields of them.  They are huge.  But you need a windy day to see them in action.
