Free Tuesdays

Today was Free Tuesdays at Balboa Park so my husband and I went for a visit to the San Diego Art Institute and the Mingei International Museum. While we were there I had him take pictures of me for the Jumping in Art Museums blog.



I had a hard time getting off the ground....



Dan Adams was one of the solo shows at the San Diego Art Institute and I was excited to get to see another one of his shows. He had many pieces with people in them this time but I especially like his goopy oil paintings of dogs.

mall people


Yesterday I was on the 3rd floor of the mall sketching some people on the first floor. Usually people notice me staring at them. I kept wondering if this couple would "feel" me looking at them and look up at me. They sure did. It happens every time.

It was nice and gloomy this morning, kind of different for San Diego.
We are expecting 4 storms back to back and I was lucky to get home before the first one hit.

The Scale



Do you ever do this?

Maybe I need a new scale . . . maybe I need to stay off of it for a while . . .

maybe I need new glasses

I should probably exercise.

aceos



These are 2 new atc/aceos I created while working in my studio this week. I have a lot of pre cut paper I purchased from Lisa at "Collage Stuff.com" that I haven't used yet so I have been playing around with some of the "stuff".
If you like making ATCs you will like her shop. She ships promptly after your order is placed, has good communication and almost always sends a little extra surprise in the package. Her blog is "Lisa's Collage Stuff" and the website is CollageStuff.com.
