Art work of August

Needle felted these four animals. cat first, then panda , racoon and lastly the bird.
Faster than crochet, like sculpting fiber. Found a great local store for the roving: Gandma's spinning wheel on Tanque Verde.

Close up of the Racoon.

Gail and I seem to gravitate towards teapots lately, this brass is the most recent.

Monochromatic theme too.

Could not find the fortune cookies from dinner the night before, but had some handy bullets.....
Looking forward to the plein aire season starting, as soon as it gets below 90 degrees 3 days in a row.

Puppies!

Here is mom ready and waiting: stretched out on the cool tile.
Priscilla gave birth to three girls and two boys yesterday.
She did a great job and they are all doing well.
You see the heads of 4 and the rear end of one.
Here is a brand new yorkie pup on it's first whole day.

All are very busy sleeping and eating.
Rufus is scared of these little things, will dash away and only after careful observation will he come over for a sniff. (It's not like he has to change diapers or anything!)

Summer time!

In door still life, after grocery shopping.

An overcast day hunting for lizards this is Priscilla...

This is Rufus, wet from hopping in pool. May be overcast but it is steamy monsoon season and lizard chasing is hard work!

I grew something!

Here is a pic of the HP Pavilion tx2500us key that I dropped the battery pack on.

Catching Up

Went painting downtown Tucson. Toward the end of the temperate season, I get sick of mountains/sky/cactus. Found these buildings next to the original presidio that started this town before the United States had been established. On my trip to visit relatives, I crocheted this amigurumi cat in airports and on planes.

Here is beast-let Rufus, looking for rabbits and lizards.

This is beast-let Priscilla being fuzzy.

Painting 09

Top painting most recent, this morning in fact! Unique to find a big chunk of color like this fushia flower bush in the dessert so had to focus on it. Totally changed my palette. Early morning blue mountains with sun kisses.

My birthday. A slot canyon that the entrance had been filled with sand one monsoon season was suddenly dug out after 3 years! This is my favorite spot in all of Honey Bee canyon; quite a gift!

Had not painted in 3 months, painfully akward to get your groove back.

These are items from Gail's mother's house.
