Margaret ready for the Memorial Day concert.
Fell in love with these when I went to the Columbia Museum of Art last time. Today I returned to draw some of the statues and have one last look at the Pollock. It was 8×20’😳. 
Sadly it was gone but these cuties were still there part of the permanent collection right next to a gorgeous Botticelli. Do you think they would notice if I borrowed one for a while??! Too bad an art museum doesn’t lend art to their visitors like a library lends books. 
While I am not a big fan of Renaissance art it’s hard not to appreciate this gorgeous painting which is about 4×5′ or so right next to the Lokapala.
I don’t know why but I just find these two guys charming. I am sure they were not meant to be charming but scary.
Bytw I drew two more figures before these. It was the fourth figure on the right before I started drawing well. I have a sketchbook full of Buddhas and saints now and a couple of Soda City street drawings. Now to get them painted.
I have to say the Columbia Art Museum was a lovely cool respite from the muggy 100 degree day outside at Soda City. You could have told me the queen of England was outside and I would not have left the cool museum.
Bytw the museum is only $5 on Saturday while Soda City is open (9-1pm).
Margaret ready for her cool comfy bed. Xoxoxoxo
Took a photo of this small wagon in Rouen. 
I love old French cars and all the fabulous French doors.
Rue de Florence Rouen Normandy France

Twisbee pen Dartrementis document brown Ink hahnemuhle journal. Not liking the paper a lot. Charles Reid palette colors.
Margaret Xoxoxox who has one more Baldacci book to read before her Amos Decker binge is done. Xoxoxo
She may need something still. Off to another friends house who definitely needs a cheer up.
Kilimanjaro Cp 140 # Dewey inktense pencils and watercolor
Margaret whose gotta watch Big Bang. Last show. 😢😢😢xoxoxo
Is this very nice red barn set in a field. I think I have painted in three times. Sometimes it’s fall sometimes it’s spring or summer.
Maybe I need to try it again on my HP arches. What do you think?!!
This is on 140# cp Kilimanjaro from Cheap Joes aka their watercolor paper. Runs about $100 for 25 Sheets. I think I still have a few sheets of it left. NICE paper.
LUCKY I DONT live in Asheville. There’s a Cheap Joes 10 minutes from moms house. Sooo dangerous. Love all the Cheap Joes stores and the Asheville one is killer.
Margaret trying to finish her David Baldacci book. Xoxoxox and cook dinner. I never cook dinner aka salad is moi.
Of Asheville to see my 92 year old mom.
A foot sketch while I caught up the latest episode of Game of Thrones. NO spoilers allowed!!
All Watercolor pencil. Hahnemuhle sketch book.
Margaret on the road again. Hmm might be my middle name. Xoxoxox
These guys were great. 
These guys were great especially the violinist. He played an amazing electric violin. I told him that if I played violin like he did I might still be playing it.
You can buy his music on his website. 
Oh my gosh and he makes crocheted art too with old plastic bags made into plarn. 
WOW!! And yes he sells them. Way cool.
These guys were jamming their hearts out down on the Decatur square. I left them a nice tip for holding still long enough for me to draw them.
Watercolor sooner or later.
Margaret worn out from all her errands today. Xoxoxo
At least for the monenbt. You never know. It’s subject to change right?! Until it’s framed.
Thinking tomorrow or Thursday will try the beach scene we did the sepia sketch of. Lost my focal point but I can fix it in the final one. Should have been in the middle.
Like this one. Sigh.
Think I will draw the scene while I listen to tv. Lol. Can’t watch and draw right.
Spent half the day looking for paint. How can I be out of cobalt van dyke brown AND dioxzine purple. This method of painting uses shovel loads of paint. Need to buy the BIG tubes not the 16″5 oz. shoulda added to my Blick order. Sigh.
I ordered these during class Sunday and here they are already.
I did get a set of Escoda perla brushes from amazon because I could NOT get my black velvets to dry brush. They split. 
If the perlas are good enough for Vlad, Iain Stewart and Joseph Zbukiv they are good enough for me. Suppose to make great calligraphic marks as well as do sweeping dry brush effects. Not a bad deal $30 for and 8 10 and a 12 travel brush Escoda perla Joseph Zbukiv Brand.
Homework from class. I couldn’t stand the tension of watching the battle this week in Game of Thrones. Eyes on paper. Eeekkk. Glad that episode is over. 
More homework from class. Supposedly if u draw two dots keep your pencil on left for eye on right dot you should get straight lines. Thinking not something to do during game of thrones or after four cups of high caffeine tea. Lol.
Margaret who has to make her clean bed first before she draws the scene so I can practice trees with my new brushes. Bet they will work on rocks too. Xoxoxo
So far. Still needs a few more darks and the red flowers on the balcony. Really wanted to add them.
The drawing
Half sheet. 15×22″ CP Rough arches. And did I say it’s R O U G H. You couldn’t draw a straight line on it if you wanted too.
First wash. As usual I once again went to the too dark side. Groan. But I rather like it. Also left too much white. Oops. Was suppose to cover the whole thing. And I used too much blue.
That’s it for tonite. It’s late and I am EXHAUSTED. TOO busy the last few days.
Margaret tucked up in bed. Xoxoxoxo
Ponce City these need W O R K lol
The old DeKalb County court house. A guy walking by on Ponce said it was beautiful. He didn’t notice my egregious error. Or that darn fly lol. 
That’s better.
These are all 9×12″. Stillman and birn Alpha. Lamy Joy and Lamy Vista. My Ef was out of ink. I was actually going to paint today. I seem to have left my whisky painter box at home. Darn. I lugged some water brushes all over town. No paint. 😵😵😵
Watercolor to come.
Margaret off to a family dinner and an awards nite for Henry. Xoxoxo
