Caitlyn's 32nd birthday, wow how is that possible??

We went out to do our best in 2 hours to give Monet a run for his money fueled with Mateus Rose ( who remembers that? ...hint, the bottle becomes a candle stick after drained) and cheese, with acrylic paint. I have to give B. Collins Studio on Pico a big shout out. It was great fun and Beverly is the best. We are waiting for her Halloween Bayou painting for another evening out. "Like" her on Facebook, she is starting out and doing a wonderful job!!

Chris and I spent a glorious day driving to Morro Bay, had a great seafood lunch (well I had seafood and he had steak as usual) We painted the rock from the pier and then drove home.

As an experiment with black canvas I did two small (8"X10") paintings copied from a couple friend's © photos

"The Farmer has left the Barn"
This photo was taken the morning after my friend's father, a lifelong farmer had passed away.

This was a wonderful photo taken in Africa by another friend. I love giraffes and found this photograph magical

Inspired by the Christmas Carol
"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"
If you read the words listed below the painting, it will make more sense.

Asquith, SOK-OJO --Acrylic, first in a long time, not crazy about the medium

The above two paintings were done on 6/11, a bad day and my mood definitely shows through in the paintings

These two paintings done 6/12 were done on a very happy day and there seems to be quite a difference

My book is done and now must have final editing to be offered with my Mission Project when exhibited. I am very happy with it!

Max

There is a bird who comes and perches right outside my window on the rail when it is dark, 4:42am to be exact, then sings until the sun comes up..about an hour. He does the same thing at dusk till the sun goes down. In between he apparently takes care of whatever bird business he attends to during the daylight hours. Occasionally I hear him on another rooftop but dawn and dusk he is here without fail. I didn't know what kind of bird he was. It really isn't a song bird, he almost talks but it is lovely, not squawking by any means. Henry told me he was an Amsel. We looked that up and he is a blackbird. As in "Blackbird singing in the dark of night...." I named him Max as I have grown very attached to him. When Henry and I were on the roof midday a few days ago he came up to show us a worm or bug he had in his mouth. He doesn't seem afraid but gets no closer than about 5feet. I put out bread but he ignores it. Yesterday morning I painted him and when he came in the afternoon he came very close and I made some corrections to my painting. It was almost as though he was posing. He opens his mouth very wide and he does seem to respond when I talk back to him. I'm in love and have become very dependent on his daily visits.
