Back-to- School Night

My son's school had back-to-school night and what a long night it was!

 We got home at 9:30PM, those poor teachers must be so tired today!

My son, Joe's artwork on the wall:

Joe had me make one as well.
The first line: What you are or want to become
Second line: two adjective describing yourself
Third line: three 'ing' words that describe you
Fourth line: a four word sentence
Fifth line: your name

My son had a poster assignment that turned out so well!

I try so hard to keep my hands off his projects like this because,

 oh boy, I can really take over. I loved this type of stuff as a kid!

The only help I gave was suggesting the circles of different yellows,

other than that he did it all! I'm so proud of him:)

 

 

 

 I have been trying to squeeze some painting here and there
this week.
I have swap art that I have to finish tonight
because it has to be postmarked for tomorrow.

Some watercolors that I'm fiddling with in my sketchbook

left page, close up

 Detail of an abstract painting.

These are the parts of it I like. 

 

Hope everyone is having a good week. It's Thursday, we're almost there!

Take care,

 

 

September Song

Not That Long Ago - watercolor painting completed this week

School started this week, my boy is now in 7th grade.

 

Time sure flies! I'm always reminded of that this time of year.

 

Yesterday was our 21st anniversary and received a

gorgeous  bouquet of flowers

from my guy:)

 

I had a fun time looking through 

our wedding album with my son.

 

We did alot of laughing,

some of the photos seem funny now:)

 

Some things feel like they occured so long ago

and others feel like yesterday.

 

And then there are times when

I can't even remember yesterday, LOL!

 

Enjoy your weekend,

I'm planning on painting/drawing

that fabulous bouquet.

 Happy Saturday!
