Sketchy
I am participating in a sketchbook exchange program on Flickr that will take a year or so to come full circle. It is quite fun… you draw 7 pages and then pass it along to the next person on the list. And so on…. I sent mine away today. I am posting them here and on Flickr. Come play next time if you like! I am really excited to have a bit of everyone’s art in my book!
Happy 4th, 5th and 6th!
I love long family weekends.
Yesterday was arty and lazy. We all spent some time on art. The girls camped out in the rain on the front porch to do their share.
Marigold is still working on hers and prefers not to show it yet. Rosie painted a gorgeous portrait. “Who is it?” Why the president! You know, OBAMA! Nice 4th of July magic there Rosebud. Hope it works out for us!
The other painting was for me, and just so sweet. I love them as she displayed them together. This was a “close your eyes and stumble out for a show” event. 
Today was a visit to a dear families Backporch Bluegrass Party. It was really fun and full of really nice music and good food.
People from New Orleans like to serve these.
A LOT OF THESE.
Lots of people ATE them.
my KIDS ate them.
Completely mental for them. Big heaping platefuls of shells and buglike carcasses. Shiver me timbers. I tried, I did. I liked them pretty fine. The tail was yummy. Couldn’t “suck on the spicey head half” as instructed by the children. Nope. They managed to do so with great gusto.
Go figure.
What will tomorrow bring?
Family Art Friday
Here are the makings of family art night:
Jim’s “Early Water Tower”. Click to go to his site and see more detail and other works in the Water Tower series.
Here’s Marigold’s painting for a sick friend “Opening Night”:
Also– she was inspired by our musical inspiration– Adam and the Ants.
Rosemary painted “Turkey Coop” and “Mudsuckle” and “Honeysuckle the Unicorn”
Lastly I did two for people I love. The first is an homage to Magritte and my dear Jim.
The second is for my dear WitchHazel, who is growing older tomorrow. Happy birthday!! I love you, wee sprite. You will be getting a treasure chest from us this week!
