Working at the library doesn’t leave me much room for ranchlife… I did manage another pic for my watercolor Art Challenge… and a great sunrise…

Wordless Thursday – “Pic Four”
That would be an oops on the Wordless Wednesday tradition… Today… Picture #4.
Soldier On
Day Three of my “Let’s Create” Challenge: Vernon is in bed. I gather my watercolor palette, paper, brushes, and a small container of water. Sitting on my couch… I choose a photo to paint from my ipad collection. Today, it’s going to be my rooster, Spot. He’s actually nice, and photogenic! I’m trying to soften…
Let’s Create!
A day of snow (yay!) and babysitting… while Jaxon and Lacee took naps, I pulled out my watercolors and postcards and went to work. A gallery in Casper has issued a “one painting a day in February” challenge. Now, I’m not *really* participating… they’re meeting to share and encourage each other… I’m here. But, hey,…
Birthday Shoes
I had to finish these today… for Tess’ birthday! Hope you enjoy them, Tess!
Squint and Back Away Slowly
I felt a little “off”… laid around for a little bit… discovered, thankfully, that it wasn’t the horrid flu that is consuming Ten Sleep at this time… but I took the “time off” to finish a new pastel. You know, I think I do pretty good, then I see someone else’s *real* talent… and I…
Artwork
Well, seems as if I spent my Sunday cheering on the Denver Broncos to Superbowl 50! It was a dramatic and traumatic game… sorry if you’re not a football fan, but I have been all my life. Well, at least for those teams I care about! I sure can’t just watch football CONSTANTLY. I also…
Go! WYO!
Have to share this little crafty project I just finished last week for a friend’s birthday. She’s an avid University of Wyoming fan… following sports of all kinds… hence, “Steamboat”, the bucking horse logo. It’s all done with brown, tan, and gold Sharpies. I rather like ’em! Go! WYO!
From Stuff to Dog Bed
There may be a few people who wonder why I keep stuff… Vernon included… I mean look at these outdoor cushions! Rescued barely in time from Eden’s puppy teeth! Yes, I did throw the others away! These have been sitting in a sack, along with that worn out blanket. Today, I joined them together. Not…
A Little Care
Well, the grandsons didn’t make it back in time to go sledding… so I’ll share a few presents. Here’s Johnny’s watercolor I painted of this scene… Yeah, well… morepractice, morepractice! Here’s a couple I received… This one is a vintage pillow, you can see the pattern underneath where they stitched. The light is off a…
Winter Watercolor
Today we shared gifts at the library… My favorite to give??? A monochrome watercolor of this sod roofed barn. I wanted a place unique enough the owner could recognize it, and this was perfect! My rendition was not… but I tried! A little artistic license… but not bad. **** On another note… I entered a…
A Couple More
Here are a couple more of my crafts for the library’s Silent Auction Monday evening. This mug was given a watercolor effect using fingernail polish. This is a set of three melted crayon ornaments with bead highlights. Here’s a tiny pastel done of the Big Horn Mountains… [easy-image-collage id=16365] My favorite… three little tomtens, or…
