ALSO MONDAY CONTINUED

 DEC. 3RD, I WILL BE  AT  THE  ARTS AND  CRAFT  CHRISTMAS  SHOW  FOR  ST. JOHN VIANNEY WITH  SMALL PAINTINGS AND  MY ROCK ANIMALS

MONDAY OCT 25

DRAWING  CLASS CANCELLED. I AM DISAPPOINTED.  HOWEVER  , I DID  FIND  MYSELF  QUITE STRESSED TRYING TO PULL OFF FOUR  ART CLASSES  IN A  WEEKS  TIME.  THERE IS  ONE  MORE  ...THAT  IS  IN JEOPARDY ALSO.

I HAD  A  REALLY NICE  TIME  WITH THE  GROUP  THAT  DID  COME.

PERHAPS  SAYING   THAT  THE  DRAWING  WOULD  BE  HARDER  MATERIAL  WAS  NOT  GOOD  FOR  MARKETING. AH WELL I TRIED....

ON ANOTHER  NOTE.. I AM  PARTICIPATING  IN A  DRAWING  EXERCISE    AT  RED  SWAN ART  STORE.  A GROUP OF  ARTIST  ARE  MEETING  TO DRAW AND  OR  PAINT  FROM  A  LIVE  MODEL. THIS  IS  MY WORK FROM THERE:

I WANT TO UPLOAD  MORE  PICTURES, BUT  FOR WHATEVER  REASON , I AM NOT  ABLE...STRANGE..

ALSO , I HAVE  TAKEN  MYSELF  OFF OF  FACEBOOK.

TRYING AGAIN

OK IT IS  WORKING SORT  OF... SOME  IMAGES  WOULD  NOT  COME  UP.

THIS  IS THE  BEGINNERS  CLASS LAST  DAY SKETCHES. I HAD  THEM DRAW  ON BROWN PAPER WITH  CONTE  PENCILS.

MONDAY 17TH OF OCT.

LAST  WEEKS  DRAWING  CLASS WAS A  BOOST  TO MY EGO. THE  CLASSS WAS  SO APPRECIATIVE. WHAT  ENERGY YOU CAN  GET  FROM YOUR  CLASS.

THE  TRANSITION  FROM TEACHING  FOR  SO MANY YEARS  TO RETIREMENT  HAS  BEEN SOFTENED  SO MUCH  BY THIS  ABILITY TO TEACH ART. I GET  SO MUCH MORE  THAN I GIVE.

HERE  ARE  SOME OF THE  STUDENT'S  WORK.

AGGG  I WAS  SO EXCITED THAT  THIS  WAS  WORKING,, BUT  THERE  ARE  STILL GLICHES,,

CANNOT  UPLOAD  MORE.. STRANGE. IT  IS THE  REASON I AM NOT  WRITING  MORE  IN THE  BLOG.. TOO FRUSTRATING.

THURSDAY OCT14TH

MORE THAN ONE  PERSON HAS  ASKED  ME  TO  DO A  WATERCOLOR  CLASS.

THURSDAY

MASTER THE  POSSIBILITIES ART CLASS - DRAWING  WITH  PENCILS
HAS  BEEN QUITE A  BOOST  TO MY EGO. THEY CLASS IS  SO ENTHUSIASTIC AND  GOOD  SPIRITED. SHARING  KNOWLEDGE IS A GREAT WAY TO RECEIVE.
A  QUOTE  FROM 
THE  BOOK MEDITATIONS FROM THE  ARTIST  WAY
"AS  ARTIST , WE MUST  LEARN TO BE  SELF - NOURISHING. WE  MUST BECOME ALERT ENOUGH  TO CONSCIOUSLY REPLENISH OUR  CREATIVE RESOURCES AS  WE  DRAW ON THEM-TO RESTOCK THE  TROUT POND ,AS TO SPEAK. I CALL THIS  PROCESS FILLING  THE  WELL.

OAK RUN HAS  BEEN A  GREAT CLASS ALSO.

ACRYLIC AND  OIL  CLASS  IS  DOING  FLOWERS.
PASTEL  IS  DOING  PORTRAITS.

SUNDAY OCT 3

AHH  COOLER  WEATHER. AND  the  OPAP PAINTERS MET  AT  SHALOM PARK SATURDAY.

WE  ENJOYED  THE  COOL BREEZE AND  SUNSHINE,

I AM PAINTING THIS IN PASTEL. IT IS  A  SECTION OF  SHALOM PARK  THAT  HAS  THESE   VINES  GROWING ON THE  STONE  COLUMNS.  I DID NOT  FINISH BECAUSE  THE  SUN  BEGAN TO REALLY HEAT  UP AND  I WAS  NOT  DRESSED  FOR  WARM WEATHER.

THEN I TRIED  TO PAINT IN THE  SHADE.I WORKED IN WATERCOLOR I WANTED  TO TRY  THIS  IMAGE  FIRST AND  THEN , IF  IT GOLDS   UP AS  BEING  SOMETHING THAT 
1. TELLS A  STORY
2. HAS  SOME  SORT OF  BEAUTY.

I LOVE  TREES.. AND  I PAINT THEM OFTEN.

I LOVE THIS THE  WAY THE  PARK ALLOWS THE  TREES TO  DISENTERGRATE  NATURALLY .. ADDING TO THE  SOIL AGAIN..THEREFORE,  A  CYCLE  ..

I THINK THIS  IS  THE  WAY  WE  RETIREES  ARE ,, WE  CAN ADD TO OUR  WORLD  AS  WE   ARE  IN THE  WINTER OF  OUR  LIVES.

OTHER  PAINTINGS  THIS  WEEK:

THESE  ARE  5X7 OIL AND  ACRYLIC  PAINTINGS THAT I PLAN TO SELL  AT THE  DEC. CRAFT  SHOW  AT  ST.JOHN VIANNEY
