QUEEN ANNES LACE IN MIXED MEDIA
This was a lot of fun and I can't even remember all the different kinds of media I used...I started with watercolor and ink and salt and acrylic ink, and maybe 2-3 other things...:)

LARCH TREE IN MY YARD
LARCH TREE IN MY YARD
I took this photo through the window...This tree is one of the last to lose its foliage.
The Ginkgo tree I posted a few days ago has lost all but about 5 leaves, and with the wind that is promised, this tree will be bare in a few days.

THE LAST YELLOWS OF AUTUMN 2012..GINKGO
THE LAST YELLOWS OF AUTUMN 2012..GINKGO
I was lucky to get a shot of my Ginkgo Biloba tree, during a lot of wind gusts yesterday. We have had wind for enough days to completely relieve many of our beautiful trees of most and for some all of their beautifully colored Fall leaves. My Ginkgo has lost about 30 percent....but there is a building sheltering it somewhat, so it is one of the last to be affected.

I have two Dogwood trees in my front entry area. These 3 photos were taken in different lights, and yes, one tree is redder than the other...:)

AUTUMN LEAVES WITH ELEGANT WRITER
AUTUMN LEAVES WITH PINK & ELEGANT WRITER
With wind and rain and these beautifully colored leaves swirling all around, I thought it was time to paint some.
I used the Vignette program on my Picasa for the edges...to show the difference background colors can make in a painting.
I used THE ELEGANT WRITER PEN, WATERCOLOR AND A MICRON PEN FOR THIS PAINTING.

WHIMSICAL HIPPO...ELEGANT WRITER PEN
I was feeling a bit whimsical today and thought the color of the ELEGANT WRITER PEN, would lend itself perfectly to a Hippo...so I did this little line drawing sketch...using ONLY the ELEGANT WRITER PEN and water...no paint.

THE LAST YELLOW ROSE
THE LAST YELLOW ROSE
This Yellow Rose is growing in my front entry area. It is a good thing I took this photo last week because we have had a pretty good freeze since then, along with some heavy rain and wind for the last two days.

FALL RED TREE
FALL RED TREE
Near Grand Rapids are many small townships...close to the outskirts..
You never know what you might see...:)
Last Saturday was the perfect day for our Annual Autumn Family Tree Tour.
We drove for almost a couple of hours through our area and neighboring little towns and neighborhoods, but all close by.
What fantastic light we had today with dark skies threatening storms that didn't happen and sun making reflections of the colors just magnificent and glowing.
Here are a few of the photos I took....:)
Wherever you go around here it is like this...even in the shopping districts in the outskirts of downtown...and especially all of the residential areas....Fantastic and breathtaking at times...:)
A reminder that these photos and the ones I posted yesterday, were most all taken through the windshield glass, so they are not as clear and bright as they truly looked.

ELEGANT WRITER PEN..''OLD RED ONIONS''
I have to thank my friend Jean for reminding me with her photo of a plate of onions that I had a bunch of old red ones that I needed to use...so I ''used'' them for a painting...:)
I painted this with Watercolor & Ink and used the Elegant Writer Pen also.
I know this is a little ''far out'' but I was having fun...and that is the whole idea of painting...at least for me...:)

ELEGANT WRITER PEN ''MOROCCO''
ELEGANT WRITER PEN ''MOROCCO''
I wasn't feeling well enough today to do anything serious as far as painting, but I did manage to do a quickie doodle with my Elegant Writer Pen and Watercolor.
Hopefully this is some sort of quickie virus...I have been too hot one minute and too cold the next since 3 AM...feeling better tonight..:)
By the way I love many Moroccan foods...:)
