A Good Day
It's been a really good day today. I felt productive today, working with the plants, getting a few groceries, tidying up, ---keeping busy.
Maybe the best part was spending some time with art this evening. Notice it's not Art, --it's my art. I was working with pastels, drawing barns. I've been asked to draw a couple of barns in pastel and now that I've thought it through, I was finally able to work on it. I seem to have to think about it for a while before I get to work on it.
My first barn wasn't quite what the woman wanted, but the more I look at it, the more I like it myself. I may be able to use it in the Spring Art Show. It feautres a barn set in the background and two lovely maples dominate the forground. I suspected that perhaps this wasn't really what my friend wanted. She wants the barn to be more prominent.
Now the barn I worked on tonight is surely what she really wants. It's a weathered old barn, done as a 5X7 picture. I like it a lot, too, but no doubt I'm not objective. Tomorrow when the daylight is full, I can put the finishing touches on this picture and then I can get the second picture done soon.
It's been a good day.

I've enjoyed drawing since I was a kid but it wasn't encouraged in my childhood. They simply didn't know much about art or artists. My husband encouraged me and enrolled me for a correspondence course in about 1961. I completed the course and continued to dabble and grow. I think I am an artist now. I'd have to say that my husband did encourage and enable me to become one.

That really does sound like a good day. : )
You are quite the artist who enjoys working with all kinds of mediums. Who inspired you?
