Rae Andrews, APS meeting
Look at her blog to be inspired and find out about her classes including a painting trip to Spain!

It was good to see old friends and make a couple of new ones. Guess I should get back in the habit of attending meetings.
This morning I was inspired to get out the pastels to sketch for Scavenger Hunt 436. I had already decided to do the spheres and stacked rectangles so didn't even look at the page. I busied myself for about 50 minutes including time to find a piece of used paper. I was so happy to find 3 small boxes for the rectangles that I forgot to stack them. Then I went to post them and Hunt 436 ended yesterday. Ah, well, I got in some practice. Now Hunt 437 is underway, you can join in here.

This post by John P. Weiss on FASO caught my eye. John was a policeman and paints, sketches and writes. He does police related cartoons. This is a sentimental story and brought tears to my eyes. Be prepared. It is about putting value on yourself and your art.

So wonderful to see you again Jo.. It's been way too long. I hope those pastels begin flowing again, metoophorically speaking, and more 'Jo' masterpieces are posted..
Take care my dear friend,
Rae
sounds like you had a great time at the meeting :)
nice colourful sketches. had to look up what Bulova meant, sounded really fancy :)
Rae, thank you so much. It was fun to see your demo and all the old friends. I bet your Spain trip will be a hoot.
Jennifer Rose, thanks. Bulova watches are very nice. I will have to blog about the watch. Another long story.....
I like the colorful pastel sketches. They are bright and fun. My next project with my students is a watercolor/ pastel and maybe a lesson on Matisse.
Let's do a workshop in Spain. Gene can be our interpreter, but I will carry my own bags:)
The link/story was a tear-jerker.
Bag Blog, gosh that would be fun!! Spain, pastels and wine!
The story was neat, Weiss is a good writer. I started following his police cartoons and then got off track.
Hope your class goes well, I'm sure pastels will be fun.
only watches I know of are Rolex and Seiko, long stories are good :D
