This is the 2nd anniversary of my husband's passing. I had a quiet day not doing much of anything. It has been slightly easier than last year tho. Now to get thru the next year.

Scavenger Hunt #262

I got 19 of the 26 items into my current hunt still life. This is Scavenger Hunt #262. Item list provided by Joan. 11x14 inches, watercolor, pen & ink

Scavenger Hunr #261

I didn't know it had been so long since I posted. I have been having computer problems. I have two older computers and both are slow and having problems. I have photos on each one. I check email on one and websites on the other. Since I can't do both on one, I tend to stay off the computer more. I can also only print on one of them.

Here is Scavenger Hunt #261. I got 17 of the 26 items in the still life. It is on 11x14 watercolor paper and done with watercolors. The new hunt will be posted tomorrow and then I will be setting up a new one.

I did two postcard sized paintings tonight for The Virtual Paintout. Both are street shots with people in them. When I am cruising thru the streets with Google Street Maps, I tend to enjoy looking at the candid shots of the people. I enjoy capturing a spot that maybe no one else sees. I have seen pictures of people in windows that were not apparent until you zoomed in really close.

I was really disappointed in the fact that I found a perfect shot I wanted to paint but because of a glitch in my computer, I lost the area before I got the URL. I did get a photo of the shot with my camera but we can't submit a painting unless we have the URL. It was such a wonderful shot tho.

Scavenger Hunt #259

Here is the still life for Scavenger Hunt #259. 13 of the 26 items on the list.
