ArtFest, Quail and Pheasant's Oh My!!!!

First, Got my confirmation for ArtFest a while back. I got all my first choice's. This is my third year of going and every year I have been lucky enough to get my first choice's. So I am really excited.

I will be in this order:

Anahata Katkin
Anne Bagby
Anne Bagby

I have always admired Anne Bagby's artwork and am so thrilled to be taking her classes. Can hardly wait.

Was greeted in my driveway the other morning by a covey of Quail. They are one of my favorite birds. They are so cute and I love to watch them. They seem to get so frantic sometimes running around in circles and all trying to stick together. Then the next morning in our front yard we had a pheasant and his hen. they were so beautiful...but were gone before I could get my camera out.

I have become obsessed with drawing these little black and white doodles lately. If I'm sitting watching TV I will just doodle one in my journal or a left over piece of watercolor paper. What to do with them? Who knows? this one is an 8X10




This one is in one of my journals:



And last but not least, here is a painting I did for a friends sister who is visiting from England. It is one of the first piece's I have had framed in years. Amazing how much framing costs....no wonder I do most of my work on canvas with the wrapped sides...





Ekk....I'm running late. Taking a Batik class today in town and I haven't gotten ready yet.
ta-ta for now
