What's your July 4th plans?

Okay, this is one of the things I did this weekend. Mixed media, pencil, Water color and oil sticks

Here are a couple of pix from the ferry ride and drive up to visit my family (Moderators, please work your magic!). The first pix is a view of Whidbey and Camano islands, the second is a shot driving up the island (Whidbey) and the third pix is Spudboy and Ayla

Great pictures Crystal! I second that, you are a good artist!

Thanks for you kind words, but I think everybody is an artist, it may be that they haven't found their media yet. I've just started to teach myself how to draw, I found a great children's art book and have been working out of that.

Spud teases me that it's not art, it's just a bunch of squares (his running joke about my art.) He calls this one "sticks and string" even though that is clearly a garden hose. Hopefully, now that I've done this, I can move on. You should have seen me in my rubber duck period... Picaso never had a rubber duck period...

people who can draw only make up one little fraction of artists. Dancers, writers, painters, photographers, sculpters, gardeners and cooks are only a small portion of artists.

Anything you love to do, be it a traditional fine art, a craft or your avocation can be an artform.
