Painting

So, five days left to myself!
No GG to nurse back to health.
No psycho mother to drive me crazy .....
The kids doing what ever it is that kids do ...
Yes, Kris is left on his own to paint his guts out!

First up is attending the Northwest Watercolor Society!
Yes, I was invited to check them out!
And, I imagine visa-versa ....
"Does he have all of his toes?"
Whoops!
Lost half of those!
LOL

So, last night I went to their workshop they were holding at Daniel Smith.
Yup, people painting ...

It is $40 a year to belong ....
I can afford it, by scrimping on my coin collecting or maybe throwing some things up on eay.
(chewing on a knuckle)
Well, I don't have to decide until I have attended two meetings.
Maybe I will let it slide for now.

In the meantime this week, I am oil painting.
Making my own paints and working on a picture first thought of by Whistler ....
Unfortunately, he was not familiar with the subject and so got EVERY detail wrong in the painting!
Oh make no mistake, Whistler was immensely talented,
So, even this painting is an owner!

But, we will see what this week produces ....
Probably paint coated canvas of no interest.
But, suitable for burning ....
