Really Nice Day

First let me tell you how happy I am for my son and his wife.  After some hard looking and tough bargaining, they bought their first house today.  It was built in the same year I was born---so, obviously it is "vintage."

Today I spent most of my time in my work room and enjoyed it immensely.  I plan on working on a painting I started some time ago tomorrow but I wasn't brave enough to tackle it today. Rather I spent time with my sketch pad and then did some collage.  My drawings were too terrible to share. I am trying to draw a face that is not head-on and am finding it very difficult.

I wish I had made this face a bit wider.

I like the way it looks as if the cross is floating.  I think this is the magic of the glass on the computer rather than artistic skill.  I have noticed that many things look much better under the glass and backlit.

I had the most aggravating evening of trying to get these pics which I took with my Iphone to sync with my Macbook.  This SHOULD happen automatically but I must have some type of glitch because it frequently doesn't happen.  I you have any idea how I can fix this problem, PLEASE let me know.

  1. You have to have both computer and phone on. Some times it just takes a while. I have this problem also. Waiting for it to transfer is hard since we have become so accustomed to "instant", but the magic does finally happen.

    I like the skinny face. To me it seems just right for the piece.
