Okay I've figured out my issue with watercolors. It's called CONTROL. Like life, watercolors are unpredictable, and we retired school teachers who were raised by Swedes aren't into things being beyond our control. Before we go on, let's review...you may remember I said I wasn't crazy about the watercolor on the left. I realize now that I felt much more …
I keep hearing Mom refer to a certain cat "who shall remain nameless". That's weird because I haven't seen any other cats around, so who this Nameless is, is beyond me. But he does seem to get in trouble a lot. I myself am the epitome of good behavior. Today Mom had this Starbucks cup. I …
I'm always looking at different types of artwork online and of course when I see something I like I always want to try it...but as we all learned from my experience painting rocks, a lot of art is harder than it looks. It wasn't any different with watercolor pens... I'll start out with the one I think turned out the …
If you have read the post "My Whimsical Garden Part 1" you may have been wondering how that is going. Well I got the key windchimes done...(used all of 4 keys) and now I've been working on birdhouses. But first let's look at the wind chimes. It took a few tries to get it right, …
At church we sing a chorus that says, "Never will a rock cry out in my place, He's worthy of all my praise!" This refers to the scripture in Luke 19:37-40 that describes what we now celebrate as Palm Sunday, or Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The Pharisees told Jesus to keep His disciples from worshipping Him …
Since I recently got Foster the Kitten, I decided it was time to pull out my cat drawings... Most of these are from photos that I found online while searching "cute cats" or "cute kittens" images. Since at the time I didn't know you weren't supposed to draw from a photo by someone else without crediting that …
Okay people, do I have a story to tell you! And yes, Mom said I could do another post because I was so good at the vet! Yup, that's what I said, the VET. Who knew that you had to get shots and see if you have worms...this is not for the faint of heart. Just …
What is is about keys anyway? If there is one thing it seems we hate to throw away, it's an old key. And the funny thing is that we are at the point of throwing it away only because we have no clue what it goes to anymore. But yet it has to go into …
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Foster, and I'm taking a moment to help Nana (I actually call her Mom) out with her blog. When I first heard she had a blog, I thought she said "dog", so I was quite relieved to find out it's just some computer stuff. It sounds easy …
OK, now that I have introduced you to my whimsical gardens on paper, and to my friend's real life whimsical garden, it's time to have a look at my own "garden". It's safe to say it is a "real life garden" but I'm not sure the word "whimsical" can be applied, yet... (that's why this …
