Eeekkkk!
I am going to think of them as my first graders. I hope. Lol. Been a while since I have done a guild talk and that was for quilt guilds.
Spent the afternoon loading sketches from my SOME sketchbooks into A SLIDE SHOW.
And I did a Tip handout which I am sharing with you today dear readers.

I only have 749 slides in the sketch folder on my iPad. Will see how many I can upload. Here’s about forty of them from Key West to Gatlinburg to Paris. 
10×25 foot mural 1943 Oil and house paint.
Sooo well worth the $8 I spent on admission. W
He made the yellow pink and red drips by thinning the artist oil paint and slinging it across the surface. 
The white was probably the last layer added. It is casein house paint not oil paint. 
He worked on this over the summer of 1943. Oil takes a few days to dry. The thicker it is the longer it takes to dry. 
Just think lucky Peggy Guggenheim got to live with this everyday in her NYC apartment. 
Did I say I am jealous of Peggy?! 
The completion date. 
A couple of Diebenkorn lithographs too!! Thrill thrill. I love Diebenkorn. The second one is from his Ocean Park series. NOT my favorite of his wonderful opus BUT hey it’s a Diebenkorn. I will take it. Diebenkorn often used house paint too. San Francisco Abatract Expressionist. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved These two but forgot to take a pic with their names. 
The great Claude Monet. Looks like out my window on foggy mornings.
Wonder if they would let me borrow this angel about three feet. 
These could fit into my eclectic house. 
and this was just odd.
