building blocks

The building blocks arrived today!

And part of the beach harvest.

Beautiful Oregon Coast and sketches of people, dogs and one house

passed by 12 grazing elk

Sand goodness. 

free drawing

This is probably my favorite kind of drawing. Without thinking. Just letting things appear on the page.

bad sketches

The achievements of the week: Tasty soup with seaweed and a bit of spaghetti squash.

 A persimmon I found on the street.

 White board drawings.

 Sweet.

However naive and bad this sketch I am including it , because it looks like the model.

Maybe bad sketches are better than no sketches?

Nothing but Life

This technique is not suitable for impatient people. My rock spilled into the sea!

This was a beautiful scene of town lights I saw as I was dropping one of Rumi's friends at her house. Felt happy to notice it. I almost thought I was alive! still far from it...

food and volunteering

The bunny was back yesterday evening and gone again this morning.

A view I found interesting.

Rumi and yellow leaves. Drawing class and an unusual vegetable.
Eating and admiring these grapes.

I LOVED their colors! The yellow stems and the bright purple wick like things together with the blues of the skin. Beautiful!

Bought fruits and veggies from a farm's final sale of the season.

Have been wearing this scarf. I made it from an old skirt. I've always liked its colors and the thin cotton they are printed on.

Friday night, when the kids saw the glass pieces I was preparing for my drawing class, they started playing with them. I was happy to watch and listen. It reminded them of phone/computer screens, but the fact that they were transparent meant you could image anything they could do or be.

 I have never been a fan of Caravaggio, but certain fruits make me think of his paintings.

Buddha's hands were grated and added to a cake's dough, and were fine, but the tangerines tasted bitter. Oh, well...we just ate everything but the tangerines.

I am smiling, because I put the scarf I made many years ago for a first time this fall. And I always like it. A lot of volunteering last week. I couldn't go to life drawing! : (  Why is it so hard to find balance?!
