Libraries. Do you remember the first time you went to a library? I do. I don’t remember the book I checked out, but I do remember going. Up until that magical day, libraries were grown up places and I was too young. I thought I’d clarify, this is the NEW Talent Cafe! (They call themselves the “Real” Talent Cafe). On August 31st, I posted an article called “Drawing Talent: Joe Dunbar Designs & Talent Cafe” . You see, the building depicted in the watercolor study was the old, original Talent Cafe. It was the Talent Cafe of my husband’s youth. Two paintings with tea cups, that makes a tea party doesn’t it? I collected my tea cup when I was living in Germany. Its made in there and its dishwasher safe, a bonus! Its kind of an odd choice of souvenir because I’m not a big tea drinker. But, I liked the cup and saucer. I’ve had it for about 20 years now; its family.Volunteering
30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
I joined the “30 Paintings in 30 Days” challenge sponsored by Leslie Saeta even though I had projects coming up that might prevent me from finishing the challenge. Why take on the challenge? I thought it was worth the start and good practice. Even if I don’t post, its worth the discipline to paint daily.
What I would like to talk about are the projects I will be doing instead. Camping and painting, naturally. Plus, I’m volunteering my time to the Watercolor Society of Oregon (WSO) and the Northwest Watercolor Society (NWWS). Talent Library Entrance: Day 11 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days
