Week 6 update

Six weeks are finished already! So many techniques to try, so little time it seems. Quite a frustrating week in some ways in that I am feeling that I am being pushed and pulled constantly and that I have to fight to find snatches of time for me. Between what I have to do to "take care of" mom, cats house, plants, cooking, weeding, repair people etc etc etc., and what I want to be doing some days its a struggle to keep my temper from blowing over. I know there is a delicate balance that I have to try to maintain, but sometimes its a bit overwhelming, and being my hot-tempered self, I just blow. Had one of those this week. Not pretty and not comfortable. Thank heaven for time and cooler heads prevailing eventually.

As I reported in my last post, I got the greenhouse put together and attached this week. Here it is!

This week I experimented with watercolour  to see if I could create the atmosphere of a grainy black & white photo that I got out of the paper several weeks ago. It showed a Buddhist monk on a mountain top at Summer Solstice. I feel I got the atmosphere I was looking for, but the execution is not quite right. I may try this idea again. At any rate, here it is.
