I sure thought I would get a chance to catch up over the weekend, but was
"overcome by events" as they say. The days were filled up with
creating a presentation for a prospective consulting job and a wonderful
afternoon with my small art club. The
summer is always a challenge for our club, so it was especially
delightful to finally get together. Oh, and did I
mention that my sweetheart bought me a new PC? It has a ton of storage (need that for
all those photos) and it is super fast! Now
working through the transition to a new operating system and software upgrades.
. . . oh what fun!
Back to the 30in30. The letter "I" just
would not cooperate at all (I think it was secretly reading my blog about the
Banana)! So, scratch that
and move on to the letter "J." Well that presented another set of
challenges. This time I
decided to paint a glass jar I've always loved, but it has eight sides and I
decided that it would be fun looking down on it - someone told me the best
still life paintings are from this angle. Probably two poor choices at the same
time - I'm really trying to be fearless and learn a lot during this challenge. For
what it's worth, here is the painting. If
it really grabs you, leave a comment and let's talk!

Stay
tuned, the letter "K" is lurking out there beckoning me. . . .
