New Art Lesson To Learn

 

Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas

Today's Date: 4-19-2022



After a gentle awakening this morning we took our time getting over to the Memorial Park for a nice walk. We did get Sierra to meander over by the beach park and the waves and wind was way too strong to play there.

After arriving and parking at the Memorial Park we noticed that the trees were getting pounded in their tree tops but down at OFM level it was just a nice COOL breeze and 74F. It was just right for the nice walk. With a couple of short side trips for pictures we managed to get in a bit over a mile and a half at an aerobic pace but not fast enough to cause any more terror on the damaged knee for a change.

The pond at the back of the park that the trail winds around is just a pretty place and this morning it really hit the spot to make the OFM feel good even if the day was a little grey.



We decided that we will try to get a really nice picture of the pond in better lighting when the opportunity presents itself.

After finishing our walk the OFM decided we needed to sit a bit on one of the benches and do a gentle massage of the right knee. He was right, it sure did feel good. The knee seemed to do well the rest of the day.

While we were there sitting at the finish line and OLD travel trailer pulled up to the stop light at the entrance. The OFM could not recall when he first saw one of that model but it was likely in the range of fifty years ago. The green is an unusual touch for a travel trailer.



We did get started on planning the next painting but before we can start the background the OFM has to learn how to mix the correct shade of gray for the background. This will be a major learning experience for him. Learning experiences are just another way of trying to have tooooo much fun.

  1. Good grief. That looks to be a long, long trailer. Maybe it's the Green Bean. Amazing that it's still being used.

  2. Using that Green Trailer as a blank canvas would be another way of having tooooo much fun.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  3. Now that is a picture worth drawing. I have so many photos that I want to spend some time "mixing" the colors for. The renovation is almost done...and all the contractors will be out of the house soon. Then I can settle down to doing some art. Look forward to this picture.
