Flamingo Time!


It's springtime and the rare wire-legged pink flamingos have returned to New Hampshire!  Naw, just kidding. Daughter #3 was having a photo shoot for her portfolio last weekend and she left her friends behind. They don't look half bad. I kind of enjoy looking out the window and seeing a splash of hot pink in the backyard. Well Sunday I finally got my homework uploaded to class after much computer spinning and  hassle. I think it's time to upgrade soon. I'm starting to have problems adding applications and stuff cause this baby just doesn't have enough get up and go. Daughter #4 was complaining about the family computer also. Apparently our version of office ('97!) is ancient and no longer compatible with the high school's software. I hope we can tough it out till she graduates. Just one more year please! So I was working on one last piece for the "Goddess and Poet" class before I venture on to "Piety and Passion" and the Tudors! This gal started off with a turban and ended up somewhat Asian. I still have some shabbifying (is that a word?) to do and I'm still messing around with journal pages. So many started projects and no order to finish them. I think I should make a master list so I know what's going on.

I love your pink flock. I really like your painting too. Her eyes are so expressive, she looks somewhat sad. Looking forward to seeing your next project.

Thanks. I hope I don't have to give the flock back. I'm concerned that all my gals seem to have sad eyes...What does this mean? I don't think I'm sad.

I don't know if it is a true sad look or a look of peacefulness. Maybe a look of deep thought. Definitely it has expression which I think is very difficult to achieve. I like her.

Thanks Scylliane, I often wonder what the gals I create are thinking.It's good to think of her as a fellow creative soul. I'm kind of new at blogging so I hope when i respond this way, you get to see it.
