National Crayon Day

 

Crayons were my very first art material. Probably a box of 24. Later I would graduate to the huge 64 box. You had arrived when you got this size. And of course, the object of crayons was to stay within lines.

In my mixed media pieces these days, I put down lots of color, then maybe add a few lines.

The Art of the Quilt, Plus

As I entered the gallery I was surprised to be greeted by a quilt. I had come to view the Bartlesville Art Assoc. member's show. And yes, the walls were covered with paintings, drawings & photographs, but a lovely, decorative, bold, quilt, had a prominent spot.

       Here are some other pieces that caught my eye.

I love adobe; it reminds me of my trips to Santa Fe & Taos.
