Art Practice

   I am still working out of the Chinese book I shared-it uses a lot of watercolor inks and some watercolor paints.

We enjoy watching the cranes here so I thought I would use my inks and try it  At first I wasn't crazy about the results but when I added some water I like it better. These guys are always fishing so I thought I should have thought of a fish first as I would have done the beak different

  I may look at this again later today and decide  if I want to add some background sky to it-thoughts??


So, I found a carp in the same book This one is mostly inks, except for the blue in the sky



  We were supposed to get a lot of rain last night after midnight-nothing but lightening. This morning it looks like it could rain-is predicted - we will see what mother nature gives us.  We really need a good rain as the next 2 weeks shows high 90's F with humidity-super not happy about that.  This is just going to go down as a very hot and humid summer.  I am so ready for fall already-smiles

  Thank you for your recipe ideas-your suggestions have helped me get out of slump of what to cook for us

Happy Thursday
