PPF - Round Wood

Hi all!! Glad to be back in PFF! Some technology updates are allowing me to blog once again now that I am away from home more...

THis is a piece I have been particularly fond of, but which sold last weekend in Hot Springs. I was very happy it sold because it seemed to belong to someone, but also am sort of sorry to see it go!

 Speaking of Hot Springs, there actually was a Civil War reenactment! It was an amazing thing - men in costumes shooting at each other. I know that in the South where I live this sort of thing takes place, but I had never been even within shouting distance of one in the past, regardless of my curiousity about it. I mean, do they reenact battles just as they appear? Do they make wishful-thinking battles where the South really won?

Speaking of U.S. politics (after a fashion) today was the election and I, thus far at 1:07am Nov 7th, have no idea who became president of the U.S. Possibly nobody else does either --- but I certainly don't! I am playing a little game whereby I try to see how long I can go without finding out. I have told Jim not to tell me and am sort of eschewing YouTube, email, etc - anything that might tell me. For no good reason other than curiosity. How long can one go without knowing? Not terribly long, I expect...

Hope all are having a great day!

Creative Tuesdays - Bottle

Hi all at Creative Tuesdays!


This bottle is one I drew just in time! Spending time with folks in Tennessee this weekend, thanks to a fun arts festival that included old car shows. 'Sans y Penser' is one of my fave Edith Piaf songs- something I like to listen to when drinking wine after all the hectic things of the day have been put to rest.

Am sorry to hear folks are unhappy about the Elections - there's a lot to be unhappy about, no doubt. In my view it doesn't matter as much as it seems to for various reasons I don't care to go into because

1) this is not a political blog
2) nobody asked me
3) I still remember somebody telling me re 'the three things you never speak about in polite company' and I guess the benefit or stakes aren't high enough for me to break that rule ;)

So, am double sorry I have nothing else more interesting to share, save this sketch of this bottle.

Hope all are having a great Tuesday!
