...interest? I find that hard to believe, but perhaps, lack of computer time to send in your images. We did get a lovely image from our fearless leader, Dorothy DePaulo:
Aesculus glabra- Buckeye Tree, Colored pencil on drafting film, 11"x16"
She tells us: This is my entry for
Remembering Summer.
I found this buckeye tree in Belmar Park in Lakewood. Even though I have
walked by the tree many times, I never really payed much attention to it until
one spring day, when it was covered in hundreds of candles of bright white
flowers. I suddenly realized I did not know what kind of tree it was. After some
research, I found it was a buckeye tree, the same tree that gave Ohio the name,
"the Buckeye State." Apparently the fruit looks like the eye of a deer!
Though seldom seen in this area, it seems do do well here." It's a beautiful piece, keenly observed.
Are there trees in full autumn dress in your neighborhood. Take some time to sketch them and make color notes. You'll be glad you did, when you have enough time to complete the work.
Now's the time to plan ahead! When you create an artwork, take the time to scan it at 300 dpi before it gets involved in framing and exhibition. File in completed artworks files. Then, when an online opportunity comes around, you'll be ready to rock and roll, and your artwork will be online for admirers new and old to oh and ah over. This is
your blog! Use it!
