We have a Quick Draw with paintings/sketches or whatever that you draw in one hour. We also have a Monthly Challenge. This month the photos are all cows, thanks to Jenna. (my art link for the day, Jenna sculpts, draws, etc.) I didn't have much time today, so I took out a 5 x 7 Pastelbord and quickly did this cow for the challenge. I was thinking it was for the Quick Draw so I set a time limit of an hour - I was wrong. I posted it in the Monthly Challenge since that is where I got the photo.
Hour Cow
5 x 7 inches, Pastel on Pastelbord
It was fun to play in the dust for an hour.
Now it is off to fix dinner. Larry (http://larrycastillophotography.com/) is coming this evening. He is taking photos at the race in the State Park tomorrow morning, you can still join, sponsored by the YMCA:
Burning Pine Run 5K and 10K
so he can sleep in a bit and go from here in just a few minutes. It is always nice to have some of our kids around.
I hope to get to the Bastrop First Friday Artwalk tonight, too. We shall see how it goes. Maybe I will leave dinner ready, go to town and then come back to visit with Larry.
See my sidebar to save some dates for October. The Austin State Hospital show and a house concert here at the house. I will post more about these events soon.
Sunday, Joanna, Gene and I are going to a house concert to see Betty Soo. Great fun.

I'm totally impressed that you did that in an hour Jo! Nicely done - enjoy all your fun goings on.
Yeah, an hour! You did a great job.
Rose, thank you so much.
Bag Blog, thanks. Quick can sometimes be good. A good photo helps. :)
Cute face on the cow!!! Nicely done. Sometimes a time limit pushes us a bit. Sounds like you have a busy evening!
Joan, thanks. I need pushing as I'm going to a workshop this week! Yikes, I'm so out of a routine.
Hi Jo, He is excellent, love your edges. An hour, I'm impressed.
Barbara, Hi there! Lots of board showing through, so nice soft edges and no time to get picky which is usually my downfall. :) Thanks.
Really nice 1-hour painting!
Joanna, thank you. I do like working quickly. I get bored if it takes too long. :)
