You Might Be An Artist, IF . . .

YOU MIGHT BE AN ARTIST, IF . . .


- you sometimes look at your palette, and think it looks better than your painting . . .





- you've ever drunk the rinse water, instead of the coffee.


- you've ever dipped your brush into the coffee, instead of the rinse water.


- you think some of your paintings look better upside down.


- you get upside down, in order to "see" better.


- your new manicure lasts less than a day.


- you use nail clippers and hand lotion for your next manicure, and call it good.


- you don't have just one favorite color anymore.



SORRY . . . there's no cure.

ART CAMP DURANGO

This year, my granddaughters came to Durango, for our 3rd Annual Art Camp . . .


We were all excited to have them here -- but, especially our dog, Royal!



We were drawing and painting for 3 days straight . . . 

Day 1 -- Mingling & Mosaics













Day 2 -- Lines, Layers, & Landscapes









Day 3 -- Forests & Flowers











They worked hard, but there was still plenty of time for hiking, eating, movies, and just goofing around . . . 










The dads (my sons) drove from Denver to pick them up and were blown away by their finished 
projects!  Me, too!
