Blogging, Dogging, and Doodles

• Blogging: Tonight I spent several hours trying to figure out how to enter the “Blog” world.  I use to think I never would- but I would hate for someone else to claim a really good identity.  I saved one a long time ago and dropped it so if you want go check it out on Blogger.com type in artworks1111.
• Dogging: After that three mile hike when my car broke down earlier this month– and I walked three miles in the rain-my poor foot has never recovered.  I went to my podiatrist today to have him take a look. Yep, I’ve got a bone spur in my heal… but worse, apparently the lady in the room next to mine was having a heart attack.  When the doctor finally came in to see me, he said- he did what he could- getting help- but he’s not a cardiologist.
• Doodles: Some doodles are simple and some are really painstaking.  I am on my last landscape- of a series-a simple sunrise scene.  In my mind- it was simple and exactly what I wanted.  Fourteen shades of blue and yellow later- I’m calling up my pal Nita Leland and ask her advice on color transitioning.  It needs work and I’m
  at this point of no return.  Better to return to wild and crazy faces, elephants eating peas and cheese, my flying women, and stories that play out in my mind…. and then I create…quilts.  Now that’s a safe bet!
