Life Book 2023 (June, July, August)

 I've done lessons in so many different directions outside my comfort zone... I don't even know where that zone ends any more!

The lessons from the first sessions in January, February are HERE.

The lessons from the second sessions in March, April, May are HERE.

And now... the third session  June, July, August! I learned something with every single lesson.

No More Red

I've been concentrating on red on the canvas this month. "Red" is my Creative Companion group's topic for August.

But,  I've been concentrating on not-red on the walls.  I've had a red kitchen and bathroom for 22 years... Not any more!


Before...



During...

After...



Then two bathrooms...
Goodbye to some gold too...

Giraffe Family

I painted some giraffes! 
Well, that's different... what was I thinking!

The Weekly-ish challenge I was given was "Starts with the Letter G."  That's pretty wide open... geranium... green grass... gem... guitar... goldfish... gift... grapes... goat-girl-goo-goo-goggles-g-g-g...

Besides Dr. Seuss's, nearly every ABC book I know of has a picture of a giraffe beside the letter G.  So... Some giraffes! 

I don't personally know any giraffes, but if I did I'd want it to be this guy with the attitude.
