    Joan, you capture the folks at the beach so well. You even make me want to be there. Ha. The lighthouse has movement with the birds and the shadows on the greenery push it back. Nice. We would have a hard time with pizza and that cutter. It is for cloth and does not have a deep blade...

    Ned, thanks. I really liked the locoto or rocoto fresh peppers. They were about lemon size and shaped a bit like a bell pepper. They were my substitute for green chile and jalepeños. I would roast them with a bell pepper to help the flavor. They didn't have much flavor, just lots of hot! I...

    Orthodox & Lutheran Churches

    These are both beautiful! Plein air painting does improve your speed. You did well. The Urban Sketchers are a good group. We don't have any here. I haven't been out in ages, so doing my plein air through you. Thanks.

    Ned, so happy you posted your baseball stuff. Excellent. This is the way I was taught to do quick gestures. Forgot I could do it on the phone and then fill in the color. Typical.. Your chile pepper sounds great. We ate lots of aji in Peru. I couldn't tell you which ones. Mainly I...

    Joy, great photos. The cock of the rock made me smile. Gene's boss was given a stuffed one in Bolivia. He gave it to our son Larry. We carried it back to Texas. The art group had a bird painting show so I painted the stuffed bird. I tried to place it in a tree in the jungle and it just...

    Thanks for the list, Fletch. Hope to do a few. Joan what a great start. I love your sweet snack. Looks like what I do, rice cake, cream cheese and fruit. I add peanut butter, too! Your house with the chimney is fun. You find some good houses. You got your 3 in one sketch!

    Composing Constructivist :)

    I'm not a critic of abstract as in "I know nothing!" This is lovely to look at and your blog is an excellent place to keep notes and poems along with the painting for a record/journal. My blog is mostly my journal and diary.

    Hi everyone, thanks. Joan your continuous line interruption made me smile. As did other comments! We were on the porch this morning. It is a nice 74 degrees F. but 95% humidity so my sketchbook was starting to feel damp. Number 9, repeating pattern - on Gene's blanket that covers his chair...

    Ah, Ned, looks like you have joined the crowd for sure. You didn't simplify, but you did a really good job. So many details and fun to see! Yay! I love the way you did the background. I get too fussy with that.

    Out on the porch, sketched on my phone with the app, Brushes. Must have taken 45 minutes or so. I try to sketch without using "undo" too many times. I did work on straight lines without using a straight line maker. Ha. Number 8 geometric - the doors on Gene's work shop Oops, I see now I...
