Number 10, clicks - my favorite ball point pen, a Pilot Pen. It is not as chubby as I sketched it.
Number 11, handle - the front door handle. It has a Realtor's lock box on it. Guess the house is always for sale.
We went to Taos last night to attend a house concert featuring Susan Gibson. It was great. She puts on such a good show. She will be in Taos again tonight at the Taos Inn and then start winding her way back to Texas, too. The hostess had a potluck dinner first and then music in the patio and yard which was attached to an old adobe house. Very beautiful evening. A light sprinkle of rain at first, but calmed down and we had music and cricket noises. Susan travels with three dogs and a chihuahua and I was surprised none of them sing along. (The dogs were in the van, not in the yard.) She has a great voice and can really play the guitar and banjo. Check out her schedule and how she shares her talents on her website. http://susangibson.com

I am always finding light. It is really hard to capture in photos. I love the way the light filters through the trees.
Here is a photo I took this morning and how blah it looks.
I adjusted the light, shadows, etc., in my Photoshop Elements. It is still not how I see it in my mind. I guess I will have to paint it to show you what I see! I see rich warm yellowy colors in the light and beautiful purples in the shadows. Hmmmm.

glad you had a good time with the music concert :)
a new painting from you would be great, you always do a wonderful job with the lighting :)
Jennifer Rose, thank you so much!! Painting will have to wait until we get home. I packed up all my tools. Only a sketchbook and some colored pencils and watercolor left!
I like the tree photos. I see a great painting in your future. Maybe in mine too.
Thanks, Bag Blog. I haven't been able to imagine any paintings lately. Maybe this conversation about light will help.....
You should definitely paint the light patterns!
Joan, thank you. You are an inspiration.
