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!

Margie's Sketch

 

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.

 

 

 

 



More sketching in the park!!!!

Botanic Garden Statue, Spring

A Group of Plein Air Painters met at the

Fort Worth Botanic Gardens early Wednesday morning to

paint and sketch in the cooler temperature.

I decided to sketch this statue of a child holding a bird's nest

with three baby birds in it.

As I was drawing, one of the gardeners was watching and was

so excited to see painters painting and drawing in the gardens she takes care of.

Gardener Renea told me that she named this statue "Spring". There

are four statues along the path and she calls them the Four Seasons.

It was so peaceful with a little breeze and  relatively cool

in the shade of the trees.

Thanks to Doug, a painter and sculptor who contacts the group

about our plein air outings.

Ribbon Embroidered Pillow, Croched Blanket and A Baby Bootee!

RIBBON EMBROIDERED HEART PILLOW

 A Christmas gift last December for my granddaughter, Ella.

I made this crazy quilt with ribbon embroidered flowers

on pretty white and off white fabrics including

silk, taffeta and satin. Of course I made all the

flowers PINK!  Ella has it hanging on her bed post.

A good friend had a baby girl in December.  I finished

a crocheted  baby quilt for the new arrival.   I also painted

a 5"x5" pink baby bootee with her name and birth date.

I'm working on some ribbon embroidered angel sachets

and will post them when I am finished. 

Also, I am crocheting a white baby blanket for the next

friends baby or grand baby.  I am getting smarter in

my old age.  I will finish off the white blanket with a

border of blue or pink whichever I need.  

Visit again soon!

CUCHARA CHAPEL

CUCHARA, COLORADO

August, 2008

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,

From whence cometh my help.

Psalm 121; 1

I did a plein air drawing of the church on
Sunday afternoon sitting outside in the cool
Colorado weather, August 3, 2008.

We saw several bear around Blue Lake where we fished
and in the valley along a stream, one was eating berries.

Hopefully you will see some paintings

from these wonderful views of

Colorado.
