    SOC4: week 6

    July 14, 2014 - By 

    Oh so sad…this is it…The Summer of Color is finished. Thank you, Kristen, for once again bringing us this great summer challenge.

    Behold our last set of colors….IMG_0039Raspberry & Tangerine with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon

    I immediately thought of a hibiscus. 1hibiscusflowerphotocredit

    My drawing skills aren’t the best but I think given the size and shape this is a pretty good interpretation of one.soc4w6The raspberry color is more pronounced in person…also could be the strong morning sun throwing it off a bit.

    I love it…a nice tropical flower on a cool July day in Minnesota.

    T Tuesday: Fishing edition

    July 8, 2014 - By 

    “I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!”  I’m feeling a little Mad Hatter this Tuesday. cupMy coffee cup is still sitting where I left it this morning…before the ortho and an impromptu fishing trip. With 9 lakes in our city limits, it’s not hard to find a pier somewhere close to fish from.fishThe good news…for us… is that we actually caught a couple. More of an appetizer than an entree.

    Happy T stands for Tuesday!

    When I saw the red I knew I’d be using hearts on my page. I have a tiny bit of the light blue as wings on one heart. I tried to keep it to just a pop of that color this time. 20140707_5790

    The words are just something silly that jumped out at me from a book page.
