TRYING TRYING

OK IT  WORKED  THIS  TIME.. BUT  I AM REALLY REALLY CONFUSED.. I TURNED  OF THE  COMPUTER  ..REBOOTED  AND   THEN IT  UPLOADED.  I  FEEL THAT  THIS  HAS  ABOUT  AL THE  OBJECTS   I WANT TO PUT  INTO IT.. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE  THE OBJECTS "KISS"  EACJ OTHER  MORE.. TO KEEP THE  FLOW  OF  YOUR  EYE  IN THE  PAINTING  PLUS  ESTABLISH A STORY.

I COULD  WORK  MORE  ON THE  BASKET  IF  YOU LOOK AT THE  PICTURES  I TOOK PRIOR TO THIS  ONE.. THE  BASKET  WAS  LARGER.. I TOOK IT  DOWN IN SIZE  WITH THE  DARK  SHADOW.

MORE  LATER..

monday 100 degrees

I AM FINDING  IT  HARD  TO  UNDERSTAND THE  HEAT  SPELL WE  ARE IN, WHAT   KIND OF  A  PAINTING COULD  CONVEY THE  HEAT THAT  IS  HAPPENING  RIGHT  NOW  .  I WENT  TO HOBBY LOBBY  AT  1:30 PM.  CAR   THERMOMETER  READ  102 .  RIGHT  OUT  SIDE  MY HOUSE  IT  READ  100, I SAW   THE   LANDSCAPERS PULLING  WEEDS. IN THE  SHADE  IT IS  99. 

IF  I HAD  SOME  CHILLY PEPPERS  I WOULD  PAINT  THEM . I WANT TO START  A SWAMPY SCENE WITH  DIFFERENT  BIRDS  AND  WILDLIFE  FOR THE  AREA,

IT IS  REFUSING TO UPLOAD  AGAIN..
