Joining the second round

[Lotus L Vele]

Hi everyone!
I thought I would give this a try again. Since I'm home for probably two more months, I think I can manage some kind of art! I got to paint last night (really late! Around 11p) . I wasn't trying to do anything fancy, just playing with the paint and brushes. I did this ambidextrously. Almost all of it was left handed, except the petals of the large flower. BTW, I'm right hand dominant. I know you guys know! lol...

Have a great day!
Lotus

Hi Susan!
I've been seeing some wood journals (the covers) on the net lately and it's given me an itch to make one! lol... I love trees too. I never realized that the weird textured trees in my neighborhood were cork trees! I'll take pics of them just in case you haven't seen them before either... ; )

Not sure what I'll be up to after the surgery, but I'll get back online when I can.

Lotus, I'm glad you mentioned the cork tree. I must visit the one in my locale.

Happy Halloween everyone!
My son, Alex, and I carved our pumpkins today. He did a great job!

Shame on me, I suggested the props... ; )

I started mine, but I didn't get very far. I managed to lay the design and cut the mouth and teeth. I had to ask Alex to finish for me. See him hard at work?

He posed with our collaboration for me:

I hope you have a happy, safe halloween!
