WE HEARD OF THIS PLACE..CALLED..FLAPJACKS..AND SINCE..WE HAVE A ' FLAPJACK'....EXCEPT HE DOESN'T COOK..HE JUST BARKS..HA...SO WE TOOK HIM UP THERE TO MEET THE OTHER 'FLAPJACK' THE OWNER AND WAITRESS GOT A KICK OUT OF ALL THIS!!!
THEN I DABBLED IN ENCAUSTICS AGAIN. LOVE THIS MEDIUM. ITS EXPENSIVE SO YOU NEED TO BE SURE WHAT YOU WANT TO CREATE. BUT USUALLY I USE A SURFACE BOARD..BUT TRIED THE MEDIUM ON METAL. TOOK AN OLD CANDLESTICK..THIS IS THE TOP OF THE STICK...DONT' YOU LOVE THOSE COLORS!!!!!
SO GUESS I WILL TRY MORE METAL! I NEED TO JUST LOOK ROUND THE HOUSE!
I READ WHERE THEY ARE PUTTING EAR PHONES ON THOSE WITH DEMENTIA..THE MUSIC CALMS THEM..SO..HERE WE ARE..MOM WITH EARPHONES. SHE DOES LOOK VERY CONTENT..EXCEPT WHEN I SAID..' MOM DO YOU LIKE THE MUSIC?" SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID ' WHAT MUSIC"!!
GOT AWAY FOR A WEEK AND WENT BACK TO VENTURA CALIFORNIA. OUR TIMESHARE IS NEAR THE MARINA..VERY RELAXING. SO WHEN MY FRIENDS ASK..WHAT DID YOU DO FOR 5 DAYS..I SHOW THEM THIS PICTURE..IT SAYS IT ALL!
I THINK THE BOOK IS ' 7TH STORY MOUNTAIN' BY TOMAS MERTON..EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT....
OLD OLD STUFF..HE FOUND MOST BY THE CREEK...AND THESE TWIGS..WELL THEY GAVE..GIVE..ME SO MANY IDEAS..I ASKED HIM FOR MORE. CAN YOU PICTURE THESE ON A CANVAS..PAINTED IN A SO MANY COLORS....WELL LETS SEE WHAT I DO WITH THEM.....COMING UP...
HERE IS THE OLD STUDIO..ACTUALLY YOU CAN'T SEE ALL OF IT..THERE IS ANOTHER TABLE..A LOW 75 INCH DRESSER AND OTHER 'STUFF'. DECIDED TO FINALLY GIVE ME A ' CHAIR'...A ART-CAVE...SO...I BIT THE BULLET..EVERYTHING HAD TO COME OUT..ALL THOSE SHELVES..AND OTHER SHELVES ON OTHER WALLS...EVERY TABLE..EVERYTHING!!!!!!! REPAINTED THE ROOM..AND SET UP THE STUDIO IN THE GARAGE SINCE WE AIR CONDITIONED THE GARAGE I COULD NOW AFFORD TO USE IT!! WELL ONE SINGLE CAR ANYWAY...WILL SHOW YOU THE
"TREEHOUSE' WHICH I CALL MY NEW STUDIO IN THIS SAME ROOM...JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT..NO...MUCH MUCH DIFFERENT!!! I HAVE MY CHAIR. I WILL SHOW YOU THE NEW STUDIOS..GARAGE AND INDOOR LATER...ALL I CAN SAY IS NOW I CAN SIT...READ SOME OF MY ART BOOKS..MAKE NOTES..TRY TECHNIQUES ON A SMALL TABLE...AND DESIGN..RATHER THEN JUST CREATE. LOVE IT!!!
AND WHAT IS THIS? WELL WE WENT TO SAN DIEGO AND HAD PLANNED TO PUT ABBY AT THE VET..THEN I FOUND OUT SHE WOUDL BE IN A CAGE FOR 7 DAYS..SO DANNY..SAVED HER...ON HIS WAY TO SANDIEGO FROM SANTE FE..HE PUT HER IN THE CAR!!!! NOW...SHE REALLY DID LOVE HER NEW HOME...CAN YOU FIND HER??????? OF COURSE SHE CAME BACK 5 DAYS LATER IN THE CAR WITH JOHN..FLAPJACK AND MYSELF. SHE IS ACTUALLY AGOOD PASSENGER!!
SO UNTIL NEXT TIME. THIS TIME I AM USING MY NEW POWER BOOK AND DID NOT HAVE ALL MY PICTURES DOWNLOADED..SO NEXT TIME WILL SHOW YOU SOME OF MY NEW WORK. I AM HAPPY WITH IT..AT LEAST I AM HAPPY I AM TRYING NEW TECHNIQUES..I KEEP SAYING MY NEXT WILL BE MY BEST.....NEXT....
