We had the opportunity to see this lovely painting in person today, and it is now one of my very favorites! Though small (roughly 7"x 12"), the detail and light are stunning. By Willard LeRoy Metcalf. Photo from Brooklyn Museum.

What I've Been Doing Lately
Painting. And studying for placement tests. Funny story, that. I studied for months for the math test, but I didn't even know about the reading one until yesterday. When the time came to take the tests, the reading one took about one monotonous hour, but the math test was only about six quick questions long! Aargk!
Sewing.
Listening to guitar.
Marveling at how BIG David's feet are. What's with this? The kid is five years younger than me! His shoes are like canoes!
Missing our kitty! He had to stay a few nights at the vet's (I promise it wasn't because I sat on him). Poor Giddy. He's back now, though, and doing well.

Head in the Clouds Continued
Some photographs from the cutest pediatrician's office in the world. Sorry about the quality - Chrissy's camera is still awaiting parts, so you'll have to settle for what my point and shoot has to offer.
"Clouds" in the waiting room - my pet project.
A baby with his security blanket. Original with Lyndsay, re-created by me.
The three Wonderful boys, entirely by Lyndsay.
Dr. Wonderful herself. Everyone's project.
And just because I love complimentary colors.

Head in the Clouds
Both Mama and I had our heads in the clouds today. Quite literally.
I spent a couple hours this morning painting at a new pediatrician's office - the doctor is the mother of the Wonderful Family. She just started her own practice, and the office is so fun. The theme is stick people which look as though a child drew them, so in each of the rooms there is a figure smiling at you - a football player, a baby dragging his security blanket, and a boy in a wheelchair for starters. The waiting room has a recessed ceiling with hot air balloon shaped light fixture, and I've been painting clouds in the recess (which has a blue background). I will post some pictures just as soon as I remember to bring my camera over there. You have not seen a cute pediatrician's office until you see this place!
Mama's head is in the clouds as I write this, as she is flying home! We'll leave in just a few minutes to pick her up from the airport. I'll be so glad to have her back! Life is just not the same without her...

Limes and an Old Building
Oil paints for the limes and pen and ink for the building. Any suggestions? And, I can't tell for sure (I've looked at it for too long), but is the building a bit crooked?
