I have let my poor little blog - go to the wind - lately. Thought I would take a moment to share some of my artwork since the first of the year...I have been involved in many online learning pursuits - most (but not all) of these are from a year long course called "Let's Face It" from Kara Bullock Art School, where we have a certain idea of materials and subject matter (although I usually change that part up to make it MY OWN). One of my 2024 goals is to improve the human face and figure painting and drawing, so I can create better 'fantasy' and 'storyteller' human interfaced with animal - themes. Let me know what you think!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTa3jJHsNafVhdGxSyYwN0JPp2C5rEZMCQN4JQcCaNgUO99N8tJzkn2xEwh5PmFPPaawdj44gmerAL9fnuofRbvd1eRCxAQ6rgIf0yOLWj5wnlF9nCTRdX3BZZ_jIqshJNnbZT1vaRhicIwFLvCI83XkcAQchXAnwIs0V2k7SQr3Py8ja7iF_bONtEkMgJ/s3841/juan%20perednik%20lesson%203%20pencil.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Painting 30 in 30, usually gives me a thrust forward for submissions when I don't have time to crank any out for a show. That is the case here.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-pqOJSvMLH_m1xEkBKm3uSj0qyHptWOfk16sHJqtzJon1u6c-P3IgFqY2C8HeVb6hCMDkNdCwro2rMY0zny1kIMq1dEMBWwVn9sTgtptmgvjcnRFU8CdUBE7dpfbGrfOSt-ZDW2lR4fs58Ci9GMpBWyWoP711EO0QcpvFEnXsSviicQuoRYHlOd8InBTR/s2704/Cardinal%20in%20Winter%20watercolor%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2640" data-original-width="2704" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-pqOJSvMLH_m1xEkBKm3uSj0qyHptWOfk16sHJqtzJon1u6c-P3IgFqY2C8HeVb6hCMDkNdCwro2rMY0zny1kIMq1dEMBWwVn9sTgtptmgvjcnRFU8CdUBE7dpfbGrfOSt-ZDW2lR4fs58Ci9GMpBWyWoP711EO0QcpvFEnXsSviicQuoRYHlOd8InBTR/s320/Cardinal%20in%20Winter%20watercolor%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Female Cardinal" SOLD</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXqL9wC5aY7zV51cWNR31Yllri5TmzWQite1Vg4oM5H_114nQrNQMRKEHpfpWF1MgKfY1ni29Y9ivIOswVfcxQGqMlLeLePpzewo6kOVPTRBIZiCycnBaiVmAgH5CwCatv1LtzmNXzMm1J-E93Z9W7ou8tM_V5y5oS9hJ6hjQmwz8MaeoTw9HjdSXpoNC/s3552/Snow%20Leopard%20pastel%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2688" data-original-width="3552" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXqL9wC5aY7zV51cWNR31Yllri5TmzWQite1Vg4oM5H_114nQrNQMRKEHpfpWF1MgKfY1ni29Y9ivIOswVfcxQGqMlLeLePpzewo6kOVPTRBIZiCycnBaiVmAgH5CwCatv1LtzmNXzMm1J-E93Z9W7ou8tM_V5y5oS9hJ6hjQmwz8MaeoTw9HjdSXpoNC/s320/Snow%20Leopard%20pastel%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2KEIG8Ijzi23jEl98btGk67MHCRzIL9bE8j25eQwkzuTAP7Vi7yapMbFixuWsaDeFcj-6jqG_MtDiySmyDArECN-hcc2TUhrinNpIDI8uMq_593EDWk7RqwSv47l83CM6s4I4OCSuG8QPMOdcbJzdPFKJjWU_-aQKbgmLowBxtqz8JmcejnOP4Ot-BYae/s2048/Striped%20One%20pastel%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2KEIG8Ijzi23jEl98btGk67MHCRzIL9bE8j25eQwkzuTAP7Vi7yapMbFixuWsaDeFcj-6jqG_MtDiySmyDArECN-hcc2TUhrinNpIDI8uMq_593EDWk7RqwSv47l83CM6s4I4OCSuG8QPMOdcbJzdPFKJjWU_-aQKbgmLowBxtqz8JmcejnOP4Ot-BYae/s320/Striped%20One%20pastel%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuD-ekb-EvIYX1hJ6VdU8nQfRgV41WeZr1MAQN4nZTvxQWg_U9Tlg2TiGjiTFmP_WDtEWFAJx8V30nNFMJg4eLKSkO9oOQMlRwQ4je_YYfjZUjLpfTnkYvjqTzF9l71CM3Gouh4epbXOwKokE6MOu6F92rt59eR2eKFpARC9pi3LPbtBUXcukbdUqPHgZn/s960/The%20Catch%20acrylic%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuD-ekb-EvIYX1hJ6VdU8nQfRgV41WeZr1MAQN4nZTvxQWg_U9Tlg2TiGjiTFmP_WDtEWFAJx8V30nNFMJg4eLKSkO9oOQMlRwQ4je_YYfjZUjLpfTnkYvjqTzF9l71CM3Gouh4epbXOwKokE6MOu6F92rt59eR2eKFpARC9pi3LPbtBUXcukbdUqPHgZn/s320/The%20Catch%20acrylic%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" width="233" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvJdKqRs63NpfOp8Qi4AZ4M54cKSCykTt3HRAUG9Ro0d6MItRrZGzZuwawuHLez4N2-3MQEs3-mR-1bpm4-pikXFCPS1E2JM0OsG5DOcEUagdZhLeHHaXxcN4aMtRReFCBJN641m5lQl5weCrHaluVOBhwIkoI4ZvaNtzUJo-ik2aGtc2-xTsOltjmXhz/s2048/The%20View%20pastel%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1316" data-original-width="2048" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvJdKqRs63NpfOp8Qi4AZ4M54cKSCykTt3HRAUG9Ro0d6MItRrZGzZuwawuHLez4N2-3MQEs3-mR-1bpm4-pikXFCPS1E2JM0OsG5DOcEUagdZhLeHHaXxcN4aMtRReFCBJN641m5lQl5weCrHaluVOBhwIkoI4ZvaNtzUJo-ik2aGtc2-xTsOltjmXhz/s320/The%20View%20pastel%20Pattie%20Wall.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Why don't I have the time? Winter approaching has had us both (DH and I) scrambling to get those tasks done that only can be done in warmer weather. So far, only one big snow - now dry as a bone and no sight on moisture for the next 10 days.

Over the years, there have been 5 generations that have enjoyed this major life event. I drove myself to that reunion this year, from Colorado to Missouri. I don't always get to attend. Glad I did so. We have regular events and activities - one is a float trip down the Current River. 39 people floated this year, complete with a storm of a downpour of rain and straight line winds. The power at the lodge went out for about 18 hours. 53 people without water or electricity - made for an interesting bit of visiting. But, all in all, it was exciting and great fun! There was a major, major fireworks show on Sunday night, July 2nd, hosted by my cousins from Texas. The biggest show I have ever seen. Next year will be 50! I guess I'd better gear up for attending!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnkY2Q89qZghaPy1aCl4B2rVsLi1ctAoEQwgtUv5NqyAsomwHEICcXkhBG8qya_lsnCRDN6Mn2QzBgYD8PxHLF0rCLv21UkyWbDr0C9i8Fsm2qYhlaWkv0YgtfiDI9SggJytUTiVF2LAsV-h8cRWsqraLTmsferTsIFc_K16rPlA9mmVeHW9Ekx39vpN1/s2048/float%20trip%202023.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtnkY2Q89qZghaPy1aCl4B2rVsLi1ctAoEQwgtUv5NqyAsomwHEICcXkhBG8qya_lsnCRDN6Mn2QzBgYD8PxHLF0rCLv21UkyWbDr0C9i8Fsm2qYhlaWkv0YgtfiDI9SggJytUTiVF2LAsV-h8cRWsqraLTmsferTsIFc_K16rPlA9mmVeHW9Ekx39vpN1/w400-h300/float%20trip%202023.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Pattie Wallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04133673088793154979noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063405475820230121.post-14528086571313216762023-06-17T07:17:00.007-06:002023-06-17T07:25:02.545-06:00Alla Prima Westcliffe 2023/Plein Air Paintout<p> All week, during June 3 - 8, was 'plein air painting week' in Westcliffe, sponsored by the Sangres Art Guild. This was the 14th year - it has been 'on hold' for several years due to COVID. </p><p>All in all, it was a very WET time to paint outdoors - lots of rain this year - although I don't mind it at all. We need it in this high desert that generally has less snow fall in the winter than is necessary to make the Springtime alive. This year, the desert IS alive. Needless to say, dodging rain times, it was tricky to get colorful, sunny times to paint. </p><p>My 'brush' was not working for me, so I concentrated mostly on pastels. Here are the 3 plus 1 miniature that I entered for the show. It was a great show - lots of out-of-state painters and some really awesome paintings!</p><p>The show is currently hanging at 3rd Street Gallery in Westcliffe. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It is a well-known and well-frequented animal sanctuary for reptiles. Not all of the creatures who call that place home were killed, but SOME were. I spent the day feeling so sad and helpless about it all...so I painted some of the residents there. We visited the farm a couple of years ago, my grandkids, daughter and I. It was so fun and full of interesting and amazing creatures! These giant tortoises were walking the hallway path between exhibit areas..like two big GUIDES. RIP critters of Gatorville. ( if you Google "Gator Farm in Mosca, Co" you can read about it and see the news videos. There is also a GoFundMe page for the loss.)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
