A Painting of "The Creek at Brown Ranch"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Brown Family commissioned a painting of the creek bed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on their ranch. Many photos were provided of the creek and the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
surrounding area with Texas foliage, wildflowers, trees and rocks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The painting was an acrylic on canvas, approximately 3,1/2' x 6'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The custom made canvas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was delivered to the Brown's home in the Fort Worth area. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My husband, Phil and I picked it up,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the boxed canvas just fit in Phil's pick up bed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I set up the canvas in my art studio which is the formal </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
dining area and living room of our house which I use for my studio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The canvas took up about 8 feet of work space. It was across from </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the bay window which gave me a lot of light on the canvas as I painted it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I set to work painting and it took me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about 2 months to complete in between teaching </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
art classes, family activities and church.. I have painted murals on walls</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
before so I approached this large canvas like a mural..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The progression of the painting process is pictured below.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So proud of members in my watercolor classes at the Upstairs Gallery. They all did a great job on their Magnolia Paintings this week. Even though we paint the same image all the paintings turn</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">out different in color and style. Will get a photo of morning members class for next blog.</span><br />

"A Fish Tale"<br />
<br />
Early one morning<br />
No bad weather warning.<br />
A good day for a drive<br />
To a farm in the <br />
countryside<br />
A visit, a tour,<br />
Then off to the lake<br />
with pole and a lure.<br />
Big Mouth Bass<br />
No bait did they pass.<br />
First one, then two<br />
On our hooks they flew.<br />
The count of our catch<br />
17, a record batch!<br />
Our day of fishing almost done,<br />
One last cast to catch the <br />
BIG one!<br />

saw this Red Pickup Truck in front of a store on</div>

main street. There was a hay bale with a tin rooster</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the bed of the pickup. We painted this rendition of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the pickup in my watercolor classes. One of my </div>

used the image on her Christmas card. </div>

The Mournful Whistle of a Night Train</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dark night closes in on the land</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like a soft black velvet cloak.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the late night hours approach, quiet soaks into the earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Far off in the distance, the lonely whistle of a train </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
breaks into the peaceful night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Travelers going to and from on the tracks to their destinations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some on their way far from home,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some headed to the safety of family and the warm fires of home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again the haunting train whistle blows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now in the early still hours of morning while the world is still asleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nocturnal activities are coming to an end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The forlorn whistle pierces the dawn with a sharp mournful blast, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As day breaks and the sun begins to rise in the Eastern sky!</div>

I don't move as it slowly turns from the lime green to a dark brown and blends in to the bark of the tree. <br />
I want to get a picture of my lizard friend so I go in search of my camera. Upon my return the lizard and a second lizard scurry up the tree. I did get a pic when the lizard stopped for a split second.<br />
The sun is warm as I sit in the shade of the oak tree while I record my back yard musings on this lazy day marking the end of summer.<br />
<br />
A gentle breeze passes over a mound of fragrant white flowers covering a portion of the fence in the lower part of the yard.<br />

The sweet smell wafts up and over me then is gone as the breeze dies down. <br />
A squirrel travels along the top of the wooden fence toward the bird feeder where the sparrows are pecking at the seed. <br />
They take flight as the squirrel approaches.<br />
The temperature is hovering around the 100 degree mark. It is humid and hot. <br />
I'm headed into the cool house! <br />

Last August I was sitting in our backyard at dusk, watching<br />
a summer storm approaching from the west.<br />
Included at the end of this post is a painting entitled<br />

Backyard Musings #2<br />
" Evening Storm Approaching "<br />
<br />
Sat. 8-28-15<br />
<br />
Two doves and a cardinal are eating at the bird feeder.<br />
The temperature has dropped a little as a slightly cool breeze blows gently through the trees. <br />
From the Southeast comes the distant rumble of thunder.<br />
The big trees to the east start to gracefully sway as the <br />
wind sweeps through them.<br />
They are like giant fingers dancing back and forth to the <br />
rhythm of nature's song. <br />
Lightning then thunder moves closer as the breeze gets even cooler.<br />
The doves have gone replaced by a family of cardinals still pecking at the seed both on the ground and in the feeder. <br />
The cicadas are buzzing their nightly tune and a blue jay is chirping in the neighbor's tree.<br />
The trees are like dancers performing, dipping down then lifting their arms to the evening sky.<br />
The thunder claps its applause as streaks of lightening <br />
light up the eastern sky. <br />
Dusk descends into darkness. <br />
The birds have flown to the safety of their nests. <br />
I sit watching and waiting for the rain as the jagged lighting draws ever closer. <br />
Ah I feel a rain drop!<br />

"Falling Leaves"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Gold, yellow, orange and brown,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Autumn leaves falling to the ground.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fluttering down as light as a feather</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In wind and rain and all kinds of weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The branches left naked and bare</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the birds can fly through the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
leafless air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trees no longer in full dress </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look like bones above</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And below on the ground, such a mess.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the leaves stack higher</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even more dropping from the sky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm reminded of a Georgia</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O'Keefe painting , oh My!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Piles of crunchy acorns and leaves</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Skipping and scurrying over the ground, if you please.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cleaning and raking, a task never ending, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Till Spring comes again with a new beginning!</div>
