NEON KIELBASA by Stephen Magsig
How adorable is this painting?! And that shadow across the top middle is pretty cool, too. I wish I could eat dinner there tonight!

A WALK IN THE FOREST
Today I have no painting to share. Instead I’m going to share some photos of my walk in the forest this afternoon. It was a perfect day! The weather was ideal for a forest hike- warm and sunny with a cool breeze. The trees shaded me and made the most amazingly soothing sound with the wind blowing through their needles. I hope you enjoy the virtual tour!
The last of the wildflowers
I loooove moss!!
Some sort of cool orange fungus
Sugarfoot frolicking!
Sun peaking through the trees
You may have noticed that there are no wildlife photos here. I saw one squirrel! One lousy (adorable) squirrel! But he got away before I could capture a shot of him!
4 UP 3 DOWN by James Neil Hollingsworth
Tarnished silver is a big favorite of mine! The painter really captured the various hues that a good old spoon can get! And am loving the composition!

MILK WEED POD by Jacqueline Gnott
The light behind these little seed pods is amazing!! They look like a bunch of little badminton birdies ready to fly!

I’M BACK BABY!
So, I’ve finished my move to a mountain town in Northern Arizona! It was not a straight across move, and there were many stops along the way. But here I am, finally! I’ve got a little place, but no internet yet. And it’s not that I haven’t been (spending a fortune) at the coffee shop down the street to use the internet but… I’m not gonna lie, my time management skills have been put to the test lately! And I failed!!
There is so much to see and so many fun things to do in and around my new town! For example…
Oktoberfest- A little daytime drinking was a big hit with the locals! (hard to get a good photo, it was raining!)
Pioneer Museum- Found my dream house! But I think I’m about a hundred years late…
Museum of Northern Arizona- My new friend Aaron is an Archivist and I got the super cool behind the scenes tour of the library and archives! And I took home some free magazines!
So, that’s all for now! I should have internet at home within the next week, and then I’ll get to “Pick” ing again for sure!!

****Announcements****
Lightning Did Not strike twice! But I did go running outside to try to find evidence of the lightning strike! I went right out into the pouring rain, with my nose in the air trying to get a sniff of the sulfur smell I’ve heard accompanies lightning. Nothing. Searched the ground and trees for a puff of smoke… Nothing.
But on another note, I’m moving this week! So, I’ll be pretty busy… Wish me luck and I’ll see you all next week!!
By the way, my WordPress Reader is failing me! Lately it’s only chosen to update me on about four of the blogs I follow! So, if it seems like I’ve dropped off the face of the Earth, I have… When I get back online, I’m going to put a section for the non-daily painting blogs I follow… That way I can stay up to date and help share your blogs with other people! Stay tuned…
LIGHTNING!!!
Lightning just struck across the street from my house! Gotta go, this is pretty wild weather! And I’m not even anywhere near the East Coast…
