Sketches of Cabo Trip

In July my daughter and I took our son's daughter, Karla on a trip for her graduation. I found a sketchbook there in a shop so I am trying to fill it with stuff from our trip.  We had such a good time and have many photos yet to do. We have several fun stories as well.  I hope that it will always be a special memory for Karla and Keri.  I know it  already is for me. 

Pelican Beach

Yoakum County Art Show

We had our art show this past week. I am tired but enjoyed all our hard work. I got several ribbons and sold 6. Our visitors and sales were really down. 

Here are three that won.  Sketcher my cat photo won Best in Photography.  

The woven barn was a demo I did in New Mexico. Elegance is an attitude is a collage I did last year. 

Some Sketches

 

I have been a little behind keeping up with my blog and posting some sketches, or paintings.

This is just a few that I have done in the past couple weeks.

Portales NM Watercolor Workshop

 This past week end I was in Portales, NM for a 2 day watercolor workshop. We had a good group, and had a lot of fun.  Everybody did an awesome job. We started out with 10 but due to some health issues and other things, we had 5.
 We concentrated on rust, and old metal, and lots of grass.
To do rust, use Kosher salt on your wet paint!
it works great.
There is a program you can download that is really good, if you are interested. It is called RoynaSoft Poster Printer.

 Showing them the RoynaSoft Pro Poster prog.

 

 

Cabo San Lucas Trip

Keri, my daughter, and Karla, my granddaughter and I went to Mexico for her graduation trip.

We had a ball.  It was hot, a heat we aren't used to, but thank goodness for sunscreen!

I was surprised to see our American Flag flying there, along with their flag.

Karla wanted to swim with the dolphins, so we did that on Wed. We rode a boat out to the arch and the strip of beach there. There were beautiful colorful fish that came up to eat. The pelicans were my favorite. I loved them. They seem to have a 'don't' care attitude.  We went to the Glass factory and Karla got to blow glass. We also did the sunset cruise and it was awesome. We just had a great time.

 

 
 

Just Park'n

Just another old Car...I am getting ready to teach a workshop in Portales, NM, in a couple of weeks so I worked this one up. It is 16x20 matted and framed.

Old Ford Tractor

This is one of our neighbors old tractors. It is pretty rusted out, but he may still use it some. I am not sure on that! I love to paint rust and old vehicles. it will be 16x20 with a mat and frame.
