TRYING AGAIN

WILLIT  STILL WORK?  I HAVE  SO MANY OTHER  THINGS  TO DO.. BUT  I WOULD  LOVE TO SHOW  WHAT  I PAINTED  AT THE  JANET  ROGERS WORKSHOP.

I DID A  ROSE. FOR  EONS  OF  PAINTING TIME, I AVOIDED  ROSES.  THIS  IS  ACTUALLY MY THIRD ATTEMPT.I KNOW  I  GOT THE  CHIN TOO LONG,,, BUT  I WAS  EXCITED  AT THE  QUALITY  OF THE  SKIN PIGMENTS,,

I ALSO  WENT TO THE  SUPPLY STORE AND  BOUGHT  TWO MORE  ROUND  BRUSHES  LIKE  SHE  USES.

ALTHOUGH  JANET  WAS  SO  SUPPORTIVE  OF  MY ATTEMPTS , I FEEL  A  STRONG NEED TO IMPROVE   THE  QUALITY OF  MY STROKES.

FINALLY

I FINALLY AM ABLE  TO UPLOAD  A  PICTURE.

WHAT  I AM WONDERING  ,...IS  IT THAT  THIS  PAINTING'S  PICTURE  WAS  SMALLER.. OR  WAS  IT  STEPS  I  JUST  TOOK TO UPDATE THIS  BLOG'S  ABILITY..

ALTHOUGH  , I PAINTED  THIS  LAST  SUMMER...IT  IS  WHAT THE  WEATHER  IS  DOING  RIGHT  NOW.. CLOUDY AND  RAINEY

FRUSTRATION

I STILL AM NOT  ABLE  TO  UPLOAD  PICTURES  I HAVE  PAINTED  LATELY..

I AM BACK  FROM A  GREA T WORKSHOP  AT  CHEAP JOESIN BOONE. IT  WAS  SUCH A  TREAT TO  FINALLY GO TO A  SORT  OF  MECCA  FOR  ARTIST.  THE  STORE 'S  PERSONEL  WERE  SO FRIENDLY AND  WARM. I MET  CHEAP JOE HIMSELF AND  HE  HAD A  VERY NICE  COMMENT  FOR  MY PAINTING  SKILL...

JANET  ROGERS WORKSHOP   WAS  EVERYTHING AND  MORE . BESIDES  BEING  A  MARVELOUS  TEACHER, SHE  IS  A  DOWNRIGHT  NEAT  PERSON. I WILL BE  ABLE  TO  INCORPORATE  WHAT  I LEARNED  INTO THE  LESSONS  I TEACH . I AM SO ANXIOUS  TO PUT  HER  METHOD  TO USE. I HAVE  HAD  TO "WAIT"   JUST  TO GET  UNPACKED.. WASH CLOTHES... PUT THINGS  AWAY.. AND  THE  EVER  PRESENT  "ORGANIZE  MY MESS" 

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..

I WOULD  BE  POSTING  NEW  BLOGS  EXCEPT  THAT  I CAN'T  GET  PAINTINGS   TO UP LOAD  . I AM WILLING  TO  UPGRADE. I HAVE  HAD  SO MANY  COMMENTS  ABOUT HOW  PEOPLE  LIKE TO READ   AND  LOOK AT  MY BLOG. DARN..

A  MIRACLE   JUST  TOOK PLACE.. THIS IS  THE  FIRST  TIME  IT HAS  ALLOWED  ME  TO UPLOAD  A  PAINTING IN A  MONTH...
