For our final class this semester, we did a portrait.. we used three colors.. aliz crim, yellow ochre, and fum blue.. (i did sneak in a bit of cb, and qo..!!) the teachers example had a hat and i thought, hmmmmmmm??? not a bad idea, then i don't need to do the hair!!!! LOL

so got out an old gardening hat and asked hubby if he would pose?? sadly he didn't smile~~ as the sun was in his eyes, but actually the gruff, rough and tough look, added to the cowboy mode!! don't ya' think?? rather pleased with this one.. and my favorite part i think is the eyes.. see close up!! so off to find another unsuspecting person, to try again..!!

the sun is shining and outdoors is calling my name...planted tomatoes yesterday, stung up the boysenberries, before they got out of control and netted the fruit trees before the birds ate all the fruit.. so today may sit by the pond and kick back and enjoy!!
