Candlelight Tour

This evening, Barney, Dot and I went to Weston, MO for a candlelight tour of historic homes. Along the way, I met up with Father Christmas. He said we had we were wearing matching outfits. *LOL*
I fogot to take my camera so this photo was taken with my Blackberry.

Watercolor Class

Artists in training...Dot, Gina and I...went to watercolor class today. We had planned to sneak out for lunch and margaritas at 1 pm, but we were having too much fun to put away our paintbrushes. In fact, Gina and I even purchased additional ones.

We joined our teacher and fellow classmates at Panera's for sandwiches around noon. (Dot..a self-proclaimed brown-noser.. grabbed the seat next to the teacher.) Afterwards, we returned to the Hobby Lobby classroom to apply our newly-learned skills to watercolor paper.

At three o'clock, too tired to sip tequila, we packed up our supplies and damp paintings and went on...more than a bit surprised that we had worked FIVE hours.

Back in the Day

Does my hair look the same as it did when I was eight or nine years old? *LOL*

Arts

I received a Third Place award in the "Art for the Health of It" exhibit for my digital photo of a fruit platter.

I took the photo during a trip to Italy in 2004. In 2007, I started working with PhotoElements 5 to edit photographs. In 2008, I came across a technique/process on the Internet to make photos look like watercolors. I began experimenting with it and this fruit platter was one of the pictures I enhanced digitally.
