In Progress

Wow-it is Friday already! This week has flown. Its been an interesting week for me. Lots of little mini-adventures in day to day life.

So last Saturday when I met my visiting friend for lunch, I discovered this cool orange house.

It inspired me to start my next piece.

I don't know why, but I find this house really interesting.

My painting is a slightly different view from the photo.

Still have a lot of ideas for the rest of this piece. I am going to take some artistic license to finish it off. I've got a few little things to fix  (the cream colored border on the right side of the house-its too fat  now) on this piece before I start adding the other details.
In my art life, I really focused on this painting all week. I've spent a lot of time working on it. I'm not only having fun with it but I am learning a lot too.
But there were some other fun little adventures too.

 I had this cute little visitor to one of my classes at school.

We learned about goat and other ruminant digestion. This little guy named Rocco was a huge hit.
And he was awfully cute too.

And I went with my kids in Asian Culture club  for a Japanese lunch.

We had a lot of fun. It was the first time I'd been to a restaurant where they cook your food right in front of you. 

I also got my car fixed (ugh the price tag),  and I went to the dentist for a teeth cleaning.
Busy week.

And I told you earlier this week I had started this book, and it has only gotten better as I read more of it. If you have any interest in birds, you might really enjoy this. Its all about training a hawk the way you train a falcon. But it is also about loss and life too.
