The weather as decent this morning and warm but not hot. The OFM body was even cooperative with the slightly increased speed. In fact out of curiosity the OFM tried a few feet of jogging gently after he was warmed up. Yep the joints explained nearly immediately that jogging was not to be tried again the rest of his life. UNDERSTAND FOOL. Yes sir we replied and had a very good walk at Memorial Park and later some good walking at the Beach Park also.
By noon the Beach Park was so crowded that even the mosquitoes did not have room to fit into the park. A later ride there around 1930 showed that it was still too crowded for the OFM Teams.
So back to the Castle to work on a painting that was supposed to be the OFM's first all watercolor pencil painting. We got it finished and took a picture like usual to make it ready to be in the blog. When we brought it up on the computer it was horrible. After working with it with the computer manipulating program for photos we got it all the way up to YUK. Here it is after the computer work.
It is obvious that the OFM needs lots more training to do water color painting decently. So the painting is back on the art table being worked over heavily in colored pencil. The original painting is now acting as an under painting to a colored pencil effort. Hopefully we can salvage some of the previous effort and save the painting. It is not wasted effort because a lot of learning has happened. And it was still a good way of trying to have tooooo much fun.
Good to learn someplace in TX wasn't too hot. We had 106 today. But, nice summer weather seems to = crowds at the beach. Yup. Reworking failure in painting can be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like the painting just fine, especially the very interesting foliage in the foreground. Hope you can keep cool! Linda
