SKETCHING WITH  PHIL
 
Phil, my husband, and I went sketching out doors last week.
We spent one evening at a park close by, Village Creek Park.
A perfect spring outing!

The following evening after Phil got home from work we went to 
Rose Hill Chapel, a rock chapel in a cemetery close by our home.
It was another beautiful spring evening and very quiet and peaceful.

Later in the week my friend Connie and I went out to sketch again.
While she was searching for her Father in law's resting place, I sketched
the Rose Hill Chapel again from another view.  I also drew a floral of
flowering Quince. It was a lovely spring afternoon..
 
 
 
 
Come back soon to see what quaint areas of our neighborhood we have
been sketching in.

Sketching in the Park

 
 
A Saturday morning spent sketching in Veteran's Park,
Arlington, Texas.  Several artists met and enjoyed the
cool breeze off the duck pond and sketched ducks,
the walking path, trees and foliage in the park.
Those who came out to sketch were Cindy, Sharon,
Phil and myself. Pictured below are Barbara, Vern, Cliff,
  Nancy and Suzanne.

River Legacy Park Pigeon






The Parks Mall of Arlington, Texas donated  white plaster pigeons that are
being taken down due to renovation of the mall.  The Parks Mall donated the pigeons
to River Legacy Park for an auction/fundraiser in the fall, November 9, 2013.
The pigeons will be painted by artists in the area who are also donating their
time to paint the pigeons.  This is my contribution.  I put gold leaf on the wings and head
then painted iridescent colors on the pigeon and perched him on a rock with
gold leaf flecks in it.
