North County Society of Fine Arts Paint Out

The NCSFA paint out was at San Luis Rey Mission in Oceanside. There were 6 artists there. It was pretty cold when we got there so I didn't feel too much like painting. I did sketches. Most of the artists worked in watercolor and one worked in pen and ink and another in pastel. There was some pretty nice work . . . I wish I would have taken pictures of some of their artwork.


These are some of the artists painting and sketching.

Some people stopped to look at the art.

These are my sketches I scanned when I got home. The paper in this sketchbook is VERY thin. I don't like the sketches.


This is the front of the church. the person standing in front told my friend she couldn't go in unless she paid the museum fee. I think they should let people in the church. It's a church for heaven's sake. (that's a funny play on words) She let some school children in then locked the doors.

Paper Mache Horse

This is the paper mache horse I helped my neighbor with. Neely did a paper mache horse showing the skeletal system and muscles for her 8th grade project.

First we made a wire form with chicken wire.
Then we covered it with plaster cloth.

























Neely painted the muscles and skeletal system herself. These pics are from presentation night.

Paper Mache Crow

This is the paper mache crow I refer to in my blog entry
sketchbook journal entry 032108

I haven't decided where to put the other eye yet. He is going to have a red and white checkered shirt and he will be wearing overalls. You can barely see them in this picture. I still want to paint the stitching on the overalls to show the waist area and the pockets.

This is the crow before I painted him. He was made from a Tasters choice coffee container and newspaper covered with plaster cloth. I also covered him with paper mache strips before I painted him. I will probably do another one but smoother and better legs.

Everyday Matters - BED

Everyday matters challenge #5 WAS draw your bed. I don't know why I never wanted to draw my bed. Maybe I didn't want to show it to the world or maybe I didn't want to draw it because I ALWAYS draw myself in it for my journal entries. Headaches . . . toothaches . . . . nightmares.

SEE... here it is on the 15th.

When I forget to turn the heat down on my blanket, it causes me to have nightmares. That's funny...

EDM 69

This is everyday matters 69: draw a beverage and write a little about it.

this is my second favorite beverage
i used to love beer but I don't drink it anymore

lots of water

EDM #154

Everyday Matters Challenge 154 is draw a lemon and lemon memories.
I guess I didn't have a lemon yellow in the little travel palette I used. I also guess I should stick to drawing and NOT writing. I just didn't make sense here.
