Thursday - warm weather and busy, busy, busy day

Greetings all - we reached 85 today on the down town time and temp board.
Everything warmed up and improved everyone's outlook.

I was occupied all day with students and classes. My senior center group was fooled when I showed them I copy of the Last Supper ... we drew a cartoon instead and talked about proportions and shading.

My two ONE ON ONE students in the afternoon made great breakthroughs in understanding shading and value shifts. The lessons were basic but just what they needed to bring their work to the level.

I was able to paint a bit on two projects I am working on. The first project is a full color logo for a local nursing home and the second is a personalized birthday card that will be given to a person celebrating her 90th. Both should be dry and ready when I return to the studio and work on them tomorrow. Perhaps I will post the images.

My mother in law made us a lemon meringue pie .... I am going to serve myself a piece.
I hope your April 1st was playful, not hurtful.

  1. Lemon Meringue Pie . . . that's Lee's favorite. He always had Dad make him one for his birthday instead of cake. Then, after Dad died,and Lee was still at LHS, I would try to get one made the night before his birthday so he could eat it for breakfast . . it is a WONDERFUL way o start the day.

    Now,when are you going to post finished Daffodils? The public is waiting . .or are we waiting . .both sound correct?
