Sue arrived! Right on time. She left it snowing in Michigan to arrive here to about a 60 degree sunny day. We will be painting tomorrow, a little bit of plein air to get back in the groove. No painting this evening but compared art notes since we last were together and deciding what we would do tomorrow. Hopefully I will get to post something, but if not, I will be back soon!
In the meantime, pop over to Regina Burchett's blog, for some pastel info, especially if you are new to pastels but good info for all of us!
Before Sue arrived, Gene and I went to the final game between UIC and UT. Great game and the Horns won again 1 - 0. It was not windy so it was not freezing in the stands. It was lovely in the sun today. We left in the 8th inning and went to the airport. Listened to the end of the game on the radio. No photos, sorry. There is a little highlights clip on the official page and the story, Joanna will have one up soon.
I am an artist that paints in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and all our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.

Jo: Have a great visit with your friend, hope your weather holds up.
I'm way behind in my blog comments. Those baseball games look like great fun. I would love to go to a baseball game - even a UT game:) The apple painting is great, but then I love the subject and the color. Have fun with Sue!
Have fun with Sue...plein air sounds good! Hope you have great weather and enjoy the company!!
fishing guy, thank you. The weather is perfect ... so far! It is supposed to be nice.
Bag Blog, it is soooo easy to get behind. The baseball has been great. You might think about going to the Big 12 tournament in Oklahoma City, near the end of may. The location and area of the stadium is made for baseball ... so fun. You might see TT, OU, OSU and UT all in one weekend. Wow. The apple painting is my recent favorite, too. Sue and I got started today. Yippee.
Joan, thank you, too. It will be a great time, already tired, though. Ha. A result of the old A.G.E.
