WED. 20TH JAN CARTOONS AND NEW PAINTINGS

IT  PUBLISHED  BEFORE  I COULD  GET  TO IT. HIT  SOMETHING WRONG.

FOR  SOME  TIME  NOW  , I HAVE  BEEN DRAWING  CARTOONS  FOR  TENNIS  EVENTS  THAT  PROBABLY WILL NOT  BE  FUNNY  TO ANYONE  EXCEPT THE  PEOPLE  WHO PLAY TENNIS  HERE  AT  OTOW.

BUT I WANTED  TO SHARE  THEM  WITH THOSE   WHO MIGHT  STILL BE  CHECKING  MY BLOG.

I HAVE NOT  WRITEN IN A  WHILE.. THINGS  HAVE  KEPT  ME  FROM  BEING  AS  PROLIFIC  AS  I USUALLY AM AT  PAINTING  AND  TAKING  CARE  OF THIS  JOURNAL.

THIS  WEEK I WAS  TO TEACH  PASTEL AT THE  MASTER  THE  POSSIBILITIES  BUT  I DID NOT  HAVE  ENOUGH  SIGN UP FOR THE  CLASS. 

YES I AM DISAPPOINTED.. BUT  I HAVE NOT  BEEN "SELLING"  MY ABILITY AS  I KNOW  I COULD.  THERE ARE  TIMES  WHEN I GET  REALLY LAZY AND  A  BIT  SELFISH.  I WANT  TO "DEVELOP"  MY OWN SKILLS AND  NOT  REALLY SHARE  THEM.. HOWEVER, I GROW WHEN I TEACH... IT  SHARPENS  MY SKILLS AND  IT  REALLY MAKES  ME  FEEL  GOOD OR SATISFIED  THAT  THIS  GREAT  GIFT  I  GOT  FROM GOD IS  BEING  USED  FOR  OTHER  PEOPLE'S  HAPPINESS OR  PEACE.  BY THE  WAY , I ASKED  GOD  TO GIVE ME  THE  GIFT OF  SINGING LIKE  BARBARA STRESSAND AND  GOD  SAID..." I ONLY MADE  ONE  OF HER...PICK SOMETHING ELSE."

I COULD HAVE  MADE A  CAPTION LIKE THIS  , TOO  FOR THIS  ONE..

THE  H  AN D R  COURTS  HAVE  SOME  BAD  CRACKS IN THEM

AND  MY CHARATER  COULD BE  SAYING  "IF  YOU THINK  THIS  WILL GET  YOU A  LET, THINK AGAIN."

SOME OF THE  PLAYERS  HAVE  MIGHTY HITS.. AND IT  FEELS LIKE  THE  BALL WILL  SMASH THROUGH THE  RACKET.

CANNOT  SAY ENOUGH  TO TH E GREAT  LENGTHS   ARBOR  CLUB PLAYERS  WILL GO IN ORDER TO PLAY...DRYING THE  BALLS.

I HAVE  BEEN  PAINTING OTHER  THINGS   AS   THIS  WILL SHOW...

THIS  FROM  COLORADO TRIP.

I WAS  PAINTING FACING ONE  WAY ,,IT  WAS  COLD AND  RAINY... I SAT  IN THE  CAR... AND  HAPPEN TO LOOK IN THE  REAR  VIEW  MIRROR  OF THESE  GUYS  FEEDING  RIGHT  BEHIND THE  CAR.
