[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. That's a very cool drawing, my dear Tuesday Afternoon...

I haven't done anything creative yet today, but the day is still young!

I have poems to write/edit for a workshop I'm taking, and I will most likely start this process in the afternoon.

Will that do?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. that sounds very productive, Peggy

I think that should do just fine

[Denninmi]

5. What did I do today?

What haven't I done? I'll spare the trivial details, highlights are getting my new contacts ordered, finishing up a few tax returns on extension, and getting a state refund for an " innocent spouse".

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. that is great work there!

[Demoiselle]

6. What I did today was

see that drawing for the first time, be very moved by it, and feel grateful to you for posting it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. ah, thanks. so much emotion in that sketch, is amazing isn't it?

[handmade34]

9. Love Van Gogh...

wish I could draw... my son can and is VERY good...

the day is still young; just taking a break from clearing part of my property... chipping larger branches and burning small ones (wish 4 or 5 of you could come and help me keep the fire going... I would provide all the stuff for smores )

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. I would do anything for Smores!

[Denninmi]

11. Me, too.

I can't draw a stick figure.

14. *sigh* I used to love to take a nap to his show. so peaceful, the sound of his voice.

[vanlassie]

Edited to add:

Huh! I googled Bob Ross and found SoothTube: http://www.soothetube.com/

[dipsydoodle]

17. I think he was legging it down

to get a refund on his new hearing aid which would no longer be of use to him.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. you are -so- bad!!

His use of color is unparalleled, imo.

22. By coincidence

having had issues booking a holiday running from last November to recently with the need to avoid conflicts with a friend coming over to the UK from OH and my sister from Perth Oz I bundled myself at short notice onto a 7 day water colour painting course down in Malaga Spain last week. I have no interest whatsoever in painting , other than doors and ceilings whatever, and just wanted to chill out for a week in the sun. The five elderly ladies there, apart from a dance friend who is also an artist and who ran the course , were serious painters who managed to drag me in to the fray. So at least now I know how to paint skies , hills / mountains and shadows on buildings.

The upside of the earlier conflicts was that I DIDN'T fly to Egypt c. July 7th for a Nile Cruise.

I might see if I can paint some sunflowers.
