AEDM - Lisa Congdon inspired
This page was inspired from an exercise in the Lisa Congdon class - More Sketchbook Explorations. I love watching her draw - she makes it look so easy - then you try and the easy part turns out to not be that easy after all.

Art Every Day Month -
Hey - I've missed you - life has been challenging lately and my creative side took a big hit.
I'm hoping that taking part in the Art Every Day Month challenge will help get things moving - at least I painted today which is more than I can say for the past two months! Anything is a move in the right direction!
My flowers are all cut up for the next step in their transformation.

Powder vs. freckles
She was realizing that the powder she used attempting to hide her freckles was more distracting than the freckles themselves.

Hee Haw!
(This girl looks like a Hee-Haw Honey to me)
I was born in Illinois and we moved to Kentucky when I was eight. My mom and dad never listened to country music and I still don't although my dad and younger son have moseyed over that direction a few times. One television staple though was watching Hee Haw! Yesterday, an ad came on for a Time Life collection of Hee Haw episodes and I found myself singing along to the goofy skits. I hadn't thought of that show in decades but I remembered the silly songs from my childhood with no problem. Now if only I could remember the important things. . .

Insect tragedies. . .
It has been nearly a month since I've last posted - summer is really busy and my free time is nearly nonexistent. Not sure what prompted that weird bug to be the item that breaks my slump - go figure!
How has summer been treating you?

A question for you regarding Andrew Wyeth. . .
So yesterday I was out and about with Connor (18) and he took a quick peek into the current issue of MAD magazine while we were waiting to check out of the grocery. He laughs at a political cartoon of Chris Christie saying, "Isn't this funny? - it is referencing Christina's World." He saw my confused face and said - "You do know about Christina's World don't you?" and quickly googles a picture of it. When I saw the artist was Andrew Wyeth I said, "Oh, he's the guy who painted lots and lots of portraits of the neighbor lady and nobody knew anything about it." (See Helga Pictures) At that point it was Connor's turn to look confused.
The big scandal regarding the 247 Helga paintings hit when I was not much older than Connor is now and is the immediate reference my brain goes to when it hears the name Andrew Wyeth. I knew that he had a history as a painter but I was a kid and we didn't have Google then so Helga is the only reference I have for him. Connor says that my not knowing about Christina's World is on the same level as if someone didn't know about American Gothic. So tell me - is it true that I've been living under a rock?? It's okay - I can take it. . .
BTW - this girl is for the Summer of Color Challenge 3 (two purples and one yellow),
