And, no, we did not play Scrabble yesterday. Gene is not a game player. Smiling.
I have too many stories for today, one about the Christmas cactus I will postpone until it blooms more.
I put up photos for the January Challenge in the Southwest and Western Art forum on wetcanvas.com. Windmills are a favorite subject for photos and paintings. I liked this windmill photo and got to thinking about it. I did a pastel painting from it years ago. Turns out it was back in 2007. Old photo and old painting....the photo is from 2006, a rainy year.

Wow...you've done a lot of windmill paintings. These are great!!! How fun to see them all together.
Joan, thanks. I knew there were a few. There were a couple of practice paintings with windmills and there might be a sketch or two. Ha.
I love windmill paintings, too. I did one for my aunt back when Bo was a baby. My aunt recently died. I wonder what will become of the painting.
Bag Blog, I'm not sure why I'm so into the windmills. They were so important and landmarks when my dad worked at ranches. Guess it stuck!
I have recently thought what happens to paintings, too. Guess if the kiddos don't want them they get sold ... garage sales, etc. Sad thought! Ha.
