Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Student Art Show

There were a lot of pieces from High School Students and from people who take Saturday classes at the gallery.

This was the first show this young lady had art pieces being displayed ... the 4 on the level of her shoulders and the mountain seen thru the trees. She wore heels, jewelry, and a slinky dress.

Yes, that is all really string.

I like this piece of portrait peering out from the dusk.

Another model drawn by Joan.

I like this one done by Jeff.
He has a really good touch on his charcoal drawings.

Photos and poetry by Aubrey.

A pallet knife sketch of Aubrey by another artist.

And I just loved the beautiful simplicity of this one.

Association Art Show 09


Each member could submit 3 pieces ...
which would be judged and given ribbons.

This was a mixed media piece ... fairly large

This is a pencil & charcoal drawing.
It was behind glass,
so it was hard to get a decent photograph of it.

Since so many artists were involved,
the place was packed with friends & family.
Plenty of food snacks as well.

This is the one they gave 1st Prize.
It too was behind glass ...
which is why I had to shoot the foto at an angle.

Another on of Tim's pieces.

I'd like to conclude with this one last piece.
:-p

The Day After

There is the mystery of life
and the let-down after Thanksgiving.
No "Black Friday" here ... just rain.

That little plate is where the cat food normally goes ...
Of course, Presley thinks it is a great place to go for a snack.

The cat is on top the pile of boxes right next to me.
While Presley looks up hopeful of a treat ...
And he and the cat trade growls with each other.

Yesterday we sat outdoors with the neighbor's extended family
to eat Thanksgiving dinner.
It was a really pleasant sunny afternoon.
This morning we got up to rainy drizzle ... for the next few days.
My wife baked a turkey on Wednesday ... it's still in the frig -
We haven't touched it. We also have half a pan of cold pizza ...
In case anyone is up to eating more. I think we will go with a hot cup of Pero or maybe some Peppermint/Rooibos herb tea and grits for breakfast.
