ONE HAND CLAPPING AND ORGANIZING COLORS

I don't know the sound of one hand clapping, but I do know the sound of one pencil falling and rolling on the floor. You'd think you could bend down and pick it up, but you'd be wrong. It has gone into the great alternate universe into which many small items disappear. Whether it's your … Continue reading ONE HAND CLAPPING AND ORGANIZING COLORS

SKETCHBOOK 11 – A ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK

I seem to have come a ways since my first drawings. That's good. If they weren't getting better, there would be no point in continuing my "artistic career." This is one of my favorite feathered pals, the Rose-Breasted Grosbeak. It isn't a perfect rendition of this really interesting bird. One of the reasons this bird … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 11 – A ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK

TOOLS – Marilyn Armstrong

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Tools I'm doing this so late at night, it's ridiculous. We spent all day voting, shopping, picking up prescriptions and mostly, watching the election results dribble in. It was not a great tsunami, but it was a wave. And now, tools!

Every job has its own tools, whether it's editing photographs, cutting a pizza, or trimming the roses. A Photo a Week Challenge: Tools (power and otherwise)

TOOLS AND KNIVES – BLACK AND WHITE

Black & White Sunday: Tools Just a few tools. Knives and other kitchen tools.
