This time I wanted to use watercolors. I am keeping different art journals for different techniques and having a wonderful time. I continue to take picture, quilt and sew both by machine and by hand. My retirement after 54 years of teaching is turning into a wonderful, fun filled life for me.geniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608100401444065noreply@blogger.comBlogger357125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856125753535346279.post-35554723404357781542020-08-12T10:12:00.004-04:002020-08-12T10:14:44.615-04:00My First Pictures of 2020<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz8GXMJ_nYkKMYxGSSQEEeRv7rA9_tIFGSUxfCBo41lTPIh-nRJU5dUPQ3wFWFIlPqKqAei23AhETEeApB0HfgWuHjDTU5TFyz-6JyLQyXDt5lhM-z4wIimRhMrdv1pj9OgS55AF-e4g/s2048/IMG_1925.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz8GXMJ_nYkKMYxGSSQEEeRv7rA9_tIFGSUxfCBo41lTPIh-nRJU5dUPQ3wFWFIlPqKqAei23AhETEeApB0HfgWuHjDTU5TFyz-6JyLQyXDt5lhM-z4wIimRhMrdv1pj9OgS55AF-e4g/s640/IMG_1925.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="color: #274e13; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqiNF-hVCqmBxaVCBADjLIbnXvLbBQn5G9dCdIDQXQZY6RsIRB43vaREZTeo1SoeEqFOqNr7ot6DyjfXUYyq9lSnZ4DWo2K_-mn_qgIlDnhHzdVTfG13gBtAM3R6dtKRyfPNfW6pnmjg/s2048/IMG_1926+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1769" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqiNF-hVCqmBxaVCBADjLIbnXvLbBQn5G9dCdIDQXQZY6RsIRB43vaREZTeo1SoeEqFOqNr7ot6DyjfXUYyq9lSnZ4DWo2K_-mn_qgIlDnhHzdVTfG13gBtAM3R6dtKRyfPNfW6pnmjg/s640/IMG_1926+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="color: #274e13; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #274e13; text-align: left;">This old barn is still in use, and yesterday it was crying loudly, "Please take my picture.” I did not walk up on the property, but it appears to be in use.

But, here goes.</span></span></p><p class="" style="caret-color: rgb(35, 28, 51); font-size: 19.799999237060547px;"><span class="" style="color: #e06666;">My life has become quite complicated these last two years due to illness and other medical issues, but I think I am finally able to work for limited periods of time at my laptop computer sitting in my recliner. At 81, I have finally given myself permission to classify myself as an aging senior and not sit at a desk. I am stuck here in the old farmhouse on the creek, and I need to keep myself busy. I have lots of drs' appointments and physical therapy, but they are no fun. Fun is being back working at my genealogy, messing with my artwork, and picture taking. I miss my barns, especially. The iPhone is my only camera other than my little pink Canon from years ago. I gave my eldest son my Canon Rebel and all my wonderful lens because I couldn't handle the weight of it all around my neck. I was sad to see it go, but I am so happy it has a good home.</span></p><p class="" style="caret-color: rgb(35, 28, 51); font-size: 19.799999237060547px;"><span class="" style="color: #e06666;">OK.

This week I set out to try drawing mundane items around and near my art table using black ink. I did not put the little saying with them that you see with the usual etegami, but I was doing this as practice.I am having trouble finding a brush that I like to use with the ink that does not separate.</div>

My daddy worked as an engineer until he was 100. At 91 they all gave him the usual birthday office party and one of the engineers drew a caricature of him. Well, I decided to see if I could do the same thing. He always wore Lily Pulitzer men's shirts and trousers and bow ties. He was never without his hat because he was totally bald. He lived to be 100 1/2.</div>

The little girl here is a actually a paper doll I made and watercolored. I hooked the her arms and legs to the body with picture wire. It was fun to make. I did not have room to put the real name of my elementary school on the building so I decided to use mine...:-)<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A week ago Buddy and I went to Damascus, VA, for him to run another ultra marathon. While he was running, I went walking on the AT, the Creeper Trail, and around Beartree Lake. We stayed at the cutest place, Hikers Inn. The owners turned their garage into a bunk room and a queen room, and there was a shared bath for all. What a deal for hikers...$25.00 a nite. We stayed in the house in a kingsize bed and AC for $75.00 a night. What a great deal. We loved the owners and will return there next year. Our world really does consist of - to a large extent - Bud's and my going to his 1/2, full, and ultra marathon races. This is one of my favorite spots to go.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Today is Bud’s 64th birthday,</span> and he has been running since he was a teenager. Now he has only one year until he can get his Medicare! WooHoo! He has hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, and is also a biker. It took him a total of 10 years to hike the entire trail doing it on his vacations in the summers, and he and I are both very proud to say he did NOT skip out on one single mile of it. We have been married 37 years, and if you all did not already know, I am 13 years older...77. So, not only is he an athlete who refuses to give up even with a painful hip requiring lots of physical therapy and exercises at home, he is a saint for putting up with me all these years. My youngest was only 6 and the other two were teenagers when we married, and he was been a wonderfully kind and loving step-father to the three of them. No one gave it a chance to last. Well, we showed them! I call him the "Ever Ready Bunny" because he never stops.</span></div>

On our way home last weekend from Damascus, VA, I spotted this little barn on the side of the road. Since I was driving there was no "Barn Alert " shouted.The two farmers were so nice to me and told me all about the place. My iPhone gave me a mean message that I had no more room for pictures, so I dragged out an old point and shoot. I did not know it but there was something wrong with it and it was blurring the sides of my pictures. The farmers gave me their names and addresses and I was going to let them now when I posted the photos, but I lost the little sheet of paper. I just hope they kept theirs and will look anyway.<br />
<br />

This is the farmhouse and the pen and shed are where they raise the baby cows and then sell them to the farmer across the road who raises and then sells them.<br />

Here are some things I have done this week. I have been down and under with really BAD allergies, and have spent ages feeling like I have the flu and a breathing disorder. Bud cannot stand the wheezing. He says he can hear it across the room. I am allergic to EVERYTHING pretty outside and anything with just or mold inside at this time of the year...and especially Trouble his cat. He is the worst. I cannot go near him.</div>

He brought me in another purple sweet pepper, and this one was lots bigger that the others but still small. I decided to try to draw it again. This time I made it as a note card on watercolor paper.</div>

This is my doodle for the week. I felt so crummy that I laid in bed and doodled affirmations trying to pull myself up by the bootstraps. The stippling does not show up well here, but it does on the paper.</div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately, our man that cuts our lower 3 acres grass has been out of town for several weeks, so the grass was very, very high when he got here yesterday. This morning I went out barefooted to take some photos while the early morning shadows were so pretty, and I found myself in a not so good situation for someone with a horrible allergy to grasses. Well, I got the pictures but payed a high price sneezing, itching, and weezing all day long.</span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am linking this picture of my 77 year old ugly feet in the freshly cut grass with:</span></div>

She has put up two posts about how Roger is doing, and it is such a heart breaker. There now appears to be more damage than they thought at first. But he is trying, and he is making progress. Please remember her and her beloved Roger, Sarah and Rachel their daughters, and their precious granddaughter, Lorelei, in your thoughts and prayers.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The idea of the 'Woof Woof' correctly spelled words is not my own. I found them while doing a search of eye chart images on the internet, but it was my idea to use the red glasses (from Mischief Circus) and the misspelling of the words for the left eye. I was thinking about going to the eye doctor and not being able to see worth a hoot in that eye. My life needs 'clarity' all throughout it...not just with my eyes.</span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79;">First I sketched from a photo I had taken a picture of North Mountain popping up its head threw a bobbed wire stretched fencing and power lines. I do not like in general the way it turns out, but I love my fencing.That top piece was really curved and way up above the rest. Maybe a larger animal stretched it trying to jump to freedom.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Last week I saw where one of our bloggers (I cannot remember who...I'betting old) but it immediately reminded me of just how addicted I am to Hershey bars...DAY and NIGHT ( I always eat one before I go to bed) ...and MIDDLE OF NIGHT. I know they are bad for me especially at night considering the sugar on my teeth, my digestion cycle , and sleep, but I still wake up and head for the fridge (they get soft here from the hot weather) tiptoeing TRYING to be quiet so Buddy does not hear me...hehehe. That is so silly. He always hears me and knows what I am up to :=-)</span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79;"> While walking I saw many, many Passion Flowers on the trail. They are very prolific at this time of year. I had never seen them before so I took some pictures and then came home and had a bit of doodling fun with it. The most fun was adding color though the petals on Passion Flowers here is usually blue or lavender.</span><br />

After I let her off (about 7:30 AM) , I couldn't resist taking the 10 minute scenic walk. Boy, was I surprised at the views. It was like I was flying above the clouds at times and at other times the clouds looks like a frozen lake.</span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">All of the following pictures were taken as I was driving Through Stuart's Draft, VA, to watch and wait while Buddy run another crazy marathon....5 times up and down the same mountain. All I can say it is one killer of a run and only 50% finished....and my buy did it! I am SO proud of him. He can barely walk today, but he will be back hitting the pavement tomorrow. Like I have said...he is my Ever Ready Bunny that just keeps running, biking, and hiking ALL the time.</span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">It was not such a hot day today so I decided to take out my watercolor paper and my Koi paints with a rag and a water brush. Got me a chair with a table on either side for all of my stuff - and tea - and started painting the grass in front of me, the creek, the bank, and finally the tree with its leaves and sky poking thru its head. Just as I was really into it, the skies got dark and the rains returned. Inside I went having to depend upon my memory. You can see the sky peeping through as well as the sandy back to the sides and under the big tree, and you can see the creek and the grass on the side where I was sitting. I still need to work on my profiles. They are so hard for me. Every time I go and sit out here, I really do marvel how I have one of Nature's wonders right in my front yard.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Well, I have finished sketching my 25 faces in pencil and then sketching over them with Micron pen using my non-dominant left hand. The pictures are a bit out of order, because I did not divide the page into sections before beginning. Consequently, some were taller than others. This was SOSOSOSO hard to do, and it took me ages to do it. I had to concentrate so hard.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "pea dag";"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">As always, whenever there are two little girls together in my paintings, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "pea dag";"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">they are my BFF of 50+ years, Weezie, and me as if we were children together.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "pea dag";"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">For those who are unaware of our relationship, she now lives in an extended care facility in North Carolina after suffering several strokes, and living with heart problems and RA. Is is heartbreaking to see her unable to walk and her hands crippled from the RA. I posted this picture from my last visit with her on my other blog, but I will post it here, now.</span></span><br />
