The way home

Nice day on the road...I took some back roads in north Georgia. Saw historic town centers, got stuck behind a logging truck and was at last happy to find the Interstate hwy!
Now, I am resting in a nice motel, reading and taking a break from my iPad ....to sketch...with my watercolors.

I have lots of good memories from being with my grandchildren.....

And with my daughter, Laura! Here we are outside Rosa Mexicana in midtown Atlanta, yesterday.

The weather stayed beautiful for my trip so far! One more day on the road and I'll be home and inspired to keep sewing, gardening and loving my life!

Resting

I'm driving to my daughter, Laura's home in Georgia...staying overnight at a motel in Alabama.....entertaining myself with the iPad camera, watercolor pencils, paints and sketch pad.

So why not try a self portrait!?!

Snap a photo in the bathroom mirror here in the motel....

Then play with different effects and filters....I like this one...sort of a blue haze....

Now, looking at the iPad screen,........try a watercolor sketch......

Once the sketch is here in the blog, I can see it even better....I know what's wrong...but we are shooting for an impression....not a photograph ( we already have that!) ...for one thing, there is no way could I paint that shiny nose!!! LOL!

As I sit here with paints and cup of water and cup of decaf.....you guessed it, the paint brush dips into the decaf by mistake.....so why not paint a little coffee into the picture, with coffee on the brush. OOOps!

Tomorrow, the grandkids!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!
