It is cloudy and damp but not too bad to sit on the porch this morning. I was looking for books to sketch and ran across the top book. It brought up good memories so perfect for my sketch of material, reading material.
For Scavenger Hunt from Life 111 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-111-apr-17-apr-25.6787/
Number 9 material - reading material, sketched in the Ohuhu sketchbook with Micron 03, Sharpie, Gelly Roll and watercolors.
The book was edited and put together by Bill Siems. As I recall he found me on the web and asked if I had photos of Aunt Katie and maybe some other info. He sent me the book.
Bruce Kiskaddon would write a poem and my Aunt Katie, Katherine Field, would illustrate or she would draw a cowboy scene and he would write the poem. They were very good friends and he came to Magdalena and met my mom and dad. Maybe I saw him when I was small. Their poems and illustrations were published on the Los Angeles Livestock calendars in the 50s.
Pretty nifty. Surely I wrote about this but can't see it on my blog. Hmmmm.

It is so great that you have her book with some of her work. I am sure it is bringing back some wonderful memories.
Joan, yep. Aunt Katie also did paintings with colored pencil. The first time I was in her studio I thought she must have a million pencils. :-)
So pretty
R's Rue, Thanks. Have a good day.
