The Mystery Pear

Yesterday was a fun day painting with my buddies, Rynda and Betty. We again painted from our favorite book called, Problem Solving for Oil Painters by Gregg Kreutz.

I am always ready to grunge up a painting with texture and color. I actually used a recycled canvas with a failed painting that I had painted over in bright red. So that was my undertone---bright red. You can see it peaking through. Thank you again, Greg Kreutz for helping us paint another painting from your great book!

And ALSO: Lolla Students,
So sorry again for my senior moment with the Neuland Video. I have added the edited video to the blog. I know that I must have surely messed with your creative minds with that one!!!

Stronger

Well, yes, that is probably right. But as I said the strength doesn't come from our own power. It comes as we trust God and He gives us the strength. We have had a difficult two weeks although it looks like Chauncey has caught my cold I am filling him with Emergan-C and Zicam(not sure if that really works)

and anything else I can think of to lessen the effects. 

I like to listen to Michael Nobbs, "One Thing Today Podcasts."  

His podcasts are about doing just one thing today to stay sustainable creative. Sometimes, I just can't make myself go to the easel so I usually have one of these letter collages going or working on a big journal page in my grid journal. I love a grid! So at least I can get in my "One thing today" everyday. It's good for my creative soul to do something creative everyday even when I don't feel like it.
