THURSDAY DEC 23

LAST  PICTURE  OF  MURAL.

THIS  HAS  CONSUMED  TIME AND  ENERGY.

DRIVING  TO

ORLANDO AND  IN  AND  AROUND  TOOK ITS  TOIL.

I DID  PAINT ON MY CRUISE. 

THESE  TWO WORKS  HAVE  NOTHING IN COMMON. JUST  SOMETHING I FELT  LIKE  DOING..

THE  HARDER  YOU WORK THE  LUCKIER  YOU GET IS  ADVICE  FROM AN ARTIST.  I AM READING  THIS   BOOK WHERE ARTIST   SHARED  THEIR  SUCCESS AND  FAILURE  STORIES.

FOR  THOSE  OF  YOU WHO DO LOOK AT  MY WORK HERE,,,, PLEASE  KNOW  THAT  I WILL GIVE UP MY WEBSITE ARTDROST .COM.  I AM IN THE  PROCESS OF MAKING  A  NEW  SITE WHERE  THE   ABILITY TO SEE THE  PAINTINGS  AND  THE  VIEW  OF THEM WILL BE  MORE  INTERESTING. I HOPE .

MONDAY NOV8TH

SEVERAL OF  THE  OPAP DID  GO TO MICONOPY IN SPITE OF THE  COLD WEATHER. AND  IT  WAS  COLD. BUT  WE  REALLY HAD  A  NICE  DAY OF PAINTING AND  TALKING  ART.

I DID  MAINSTREET ANTIQUE STORES , NANCY DID A  STORE  FRONT  AND I DID NOT  TAKE  MILLI'S  PICTURE BECAUSE  OF  NOT  KNOWING  WHERE  SHE  WAS PAINTING UNTIL WE  HAD  STOPPED  FOR  LUNCH.

THEN I STARTED  THIS  PAINTING OF  A  HOME . I WANTED  TO DO IT  SMALLER  AND  WITH MORE   FLORIDA  FOLAGE  AROUND IT. I  KNOW THIS IS  WHAT  I WANT TO DO AND  I STILL DO THE  LARGE  STRUCTURAL TO THE  ENDS OF THE  PAGE DRAWING.. AGGGGGG FRUSTRATION

THIS IS A  STILL LIFE  FOR TOMORROW'S PASTEL CLASS AT  OAKRUN. I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE A CORNER  IN AN ATTIC  OR  PLAY ROOM  WITH  TOYS  SCATTERED HELTERSKELTER. I  BLOCKED IT  IN WITH OIL AND  TURP .  I WANT TO RECORD  THE  STEPS  I AM TAKING. STAY TUNED

NOV. 5THFRIDAY

LAST  BUT NOT  LEAST.

NOV.5

WE  ARE  SUPPOSED  TO PAINT  IN MICONOPY  TOMORROW.. BUT  THE  TEMPERATURE IS  PREDICTED TO BE IN THE  30'S.I AM GOING TO TRY ANYWAY.

PAINTING ON LOCATION IS  EXCITING.

MY ART  CLASS AT  MASTER THE  POSSIBILITIES  HAS  ENDED, I WAS  QUITE  PLEASED  WITH THE  EFFORTS  BY  STUDENTS.

THESE  ARE  SOME OF THE  SMALL "STUFF"I PLAN TO BRING TO ST.JOHN'S  NEXT  MONTH. THIS IS AN OIL PAINTING FROM PHOTOS  I TOOK AT  PEGGY'S  COVE IN CANADA.

THE  ROCK ANIMALS  ARE  FUN TO DO. KIDS  SEEMS TI  LIKE  THEM .

BUT  I ALSO HAD SOME  ADULTS INTERESTED  IN THEM  , TOO
