Day 1105 Una Mas Aiken
I drew this bit of urban sketching this weekend when I went by to pick up tacos and chips. A busy hopping place. Have I painted it yet? No been busy. But will soon.
Day 1104 And he’s off
To the Georgia Watercolor show in Gainesville. The farrier was framed with a frame from Frameitnow.com. So easy. Put in your measurements and choose your poison. It arrives on your doorstep ready to pop into the frame. Saved me a 30 mile drive. Although I think my maple frames from Art ok Broad are nicer but no nonglare acrylic in those. Guess it's a trade off. And I get happy buttons and stickers when I go to art on Broad.
Ttyl time for Game of Thrones.

Day 1103 Its Saturday
Katie Well this was not great. I forgot my watercolor brushes and didn't have a canvas so I played with my neocolor ii for first forty minute session.
All my sketches are on 16×20 Strathmore
Bristol.
I moved for the next forty minutes. Used my 6B chunk of lead and a bit of the 9b chunk of lead. Hmm wonder if you can get lead poisoning from it?
Third session drawing. My favorite although I think I made Katie look too old.
Drew Murphys. Acrylic 24×30" My favorite of the rest.
Jeremy's lovely sketch.
A lovely pastel by someone named Al or Alex maybe.
Also really liked this one by Marilyn Hartley. Oil
Al Beyer's HUGE oil.
Dawns oil 24×30"
Dr Fred's. Such a happy acrylic.
And the lovely Ilaina in her Matisse phase. Oil!
That's it. Ttyl

A New Year – A New Art Blog
Posting old stuff that was in my drafts folder for
Some reason. No idea if they are duplicates or what. Happy New Year!!!
I suppose you might wonder after all these years WHY I have started a new blog?! Several reasons but the main one will be to have a professional art blog from which to sell my art. This is it!! Welcome!! Glad You are Here!! Hope you come back soon!! Be sure to join the email list link so you get an email when I add a new blog post.
Other reasons:
The old blog scquiltaddict.blogspot.com no longer fit what I do and hasn't in quite a while. Time for a change, right?! I may still post family posts there but…join the email list so you don't miss any of my posts!!
I have been hearing good things about wordpress for a while. I ran across a youtube video about selling your art on line and I joined up. Here's a link to the video 5 Things Every Artist Needs to Know to Sell Art Online.
Amazingly Cory Huff did exactly what he said he would and fired off a reply to my question…stay with the old blog or start a new professional one…he voted for the new professional one. So here it is!!
Welcome to my New BloG!!!
Sunday – Jour ??
No idea if this published. I did try yesterday and Sunday.
This posted yesterday on that OTHER blogsite I have…now HOW did I do that. I used the computer so I wouldnt do that but I did anyway. DUH-I know its the cold I keep trying to get…Scratchy throat sneezy and a drip that comes and goes…gone today…wheres my vitamin A but I have a headache. SIGH!!
Happy Sunday!!!
Which one do you like best?? I think the second one?!! For me at least.
Catching up diet journal pages and only have 6 more days til I can eat more food. YEAH!! Good news is I am down 23 pounds. AND even better news I can resist the treats like cake and cookies. HURRAH…and that basket of bread at Carrabas the other nite…did I say I DEARLY LOVE bread?? That said I dont think it loves me…my joints would get a flu like ache two three times a week before I gave it up…havent had it since. Another HURRAH!!!
This one is done with Winsor Newton Markers and some regualr watercolors. It was a pill . Mostly because there is so much paint in those WN WC Markers that they will leak into the other colors if you are not careful.
The “title” is colored with Tombows a dark blue on and caran dache neocolor ii crayons… a bright orange and then the brightest yellow I had…still not bright enough but OH well I am done…only messed with this two three hours…
I finally got a piece of ledger paper and glued it over the title of the page…I really had wanted orange letters but that was NOT to be. Ledger paper does not make bright colors sadly but does add a nice texture and a change of pace.
I also had hand lotion on my hands when I started painting this which acted like a resist…eeekkk…finally got around that by wiping it with a kleenex…not one with hand lotion either lol…
Anyway coming down with a cold..another new way to loose weight?? NO I refuse…loading up on vitamins…

Day 1102 Urban Sketching Atlanta and the burbs
Sort of house hunting in Atlanta. 800 sq feet for $209k. Think extremely dilapidated in the outside. But so adorable. 
Not easy to do since where I would like to live my house would cost $1.3 million like this one down the street from my sons house in Oakhurst. Maybe I should become a realtor?!
Love Petite Marche in Kirkwood. These will get painted soon.
Hard to get the paint out with a 3&5 yr old grandchild around. They want to paint too. Oops. 
Cute little fixer upper in Pine Lake. Has tons of very dark knotty pine that needs to be painted white. And a disaster of a side porch with jalousy windows that will no longer open or shut. Eeekkk. Keep looking?!
Off to walk the dog and have a taste of living urban style in a walkable neighborhood. Then more house looking.
Drawn with my Lamys in a Stillman and Birn Zeta.
