Tree Work.

My morning watercolours have been of trees lately.  I'm working hard to learn to make them look how I want them to look.

And making them look how you want them to look is a matter of figuring out HOW you want them to look.

I'm kinda liking this one, its making me laugh because its such a square.

These trees were duds, but I liked them way better after I added some text

and a ladder.

This tree trio makes me happy.

Every time I paint another tree I learn something else.  How come it was so easy in kindergarden?

Tree work, not bad if you can find it.

Daytrippin' In Athens County.

Rocky Point.

You can totally see how it got the name.  And if you squint and pull the photo in you can see a little waterfall.

Its little, right in the middle of the black shadow area.

And the rocks look like faces from Planet of the Apes.  Its fun discovering these places around the county roads, and nobody knows these county roads like my hubby.  I'm so fortunate that he lets me tag along on these adventures. Remember our Skull Rock Halloween date!??!  I posted it several Halloweens ago.

Innocent spectators:

Not-so innocent spectators:

The lady on the left stole my art show with her crazy-good cheeseball.  STOLE it, right out from under me!

She gave me the recipe and I'll post it soon.  Very very soon.

Meanwhile, looking across the street, I just had to share this tree/building combo. Its so pretty right now with the tree blooming against the taupe building.  And these photos don't do it justice, I'm going to get a good picture of it when I go back. The conditions weren't right, but I took these anyhow.

Two doors down, walking into Starbrick Gallery is a real treat.  The show is stunning.   Simply stunning.

Then when you go back into the shop, you'll never know what you'll find.

This is what you think it is.

See.

There's a lot to see inside this gallery.  A lot.  Every time you go in its a visual feast.  And its constantly evolving.  You'll see something different every visit.
