The summary of what I learned in April doesn’t seem to fit my normal end of month list. A paragraph will suffice. In April I learned how to plein air paint. I also learned to use a cell phone, how to navigate the world of travel that is now dependent on cell phone ownership, usage, […]
Final Plein Air Painting Day in Georgia
So many things to choose from for my final plein air painting. And that’s all, folks. Suddenly, the carriage turned into a pumpkin. I told Laurel that the entire experience was so perfect that I’d think it was just a dream if I wasn’t sweating so much in the humidity. So, back to the host […]
Sightseeing in Georgia
After class on day 2 and before class on day 3, I went driving around, looking for things, taking in all the sights. I love exploring! The next morning I drove through the Victorian neighborhood of Brunswick, just being a looky-loo. It isn’t often I get to see such fabulous houses or such a variety […]
Exploring and Sightseeing
First, an update. Now, back to Georgia. It took some focused discipline to concentrate on painting a new way when there were so many new sights to see. I was a good student, but I was eager for the next stage of exploring the area after class.
Fixin’ To Go
Happy Birthday, Mamacita! Leaving for a trip involves lots of preparations. Whether or not there are specific deadlines, there is a need to finish things. This is mostly due to not knowing what else will be stacked up when I return. Besides, if I am learning to paint plein air, maybe I’d better finish all […]
Story Concluded
I read about St. Simons Island, love the beach, learned that an artist needs to paint plein air, “met” an artist who teaches plein air on St. Simons Island, and met a real person who lives there. The real person invited me to stay with her and her family at their home by St. Simons […]
More Story
So far we have learned that I love to read, love the beach, and have wondered if it was possible or necessary to learn to paint plein air. I have a virtual friend (is that what it is called when you are in touch with someone you have never met in person?) named Laurel Daniel […]
A Story, Continued
In yesterday’s story beginning, we learned that I liked the beach and reading. Where are we going with all this? I also loved to draw and figured that when I grew up, I’d live at the beach and be an artist who painted. Instead, I live near and sometimes in the mountains, and I used […]
A Story
When I was a kid I loved to read (and still do). My mom took us to the Ivanhoe library, where I worked through the kids fiction section until there was nothing left that interested me. Eventually I realized that some of Mom’s books might be good, and I read a couple of historical novels […]
Learned in March
It is possible that I didn’t learn much in March. Perhaps I spent too much time on hold with both Huge & Rude and Small & Bumbling. But now we have faster internet, so that’s a good thing. FWIW means For What It’s Worth. (Thank you, SD!) Donald Miller has a podcast and is a […]
