Summer Blooms

Art Exhibit at Local Museum

Impressionist Painting at local Museum SAMA

CF Ray Quilt in Progress Stay Tune

More Impressionist......

And Modern Day Impressionism


Went to the local SAMA museum to checkout their impressionist painting exhibit

I was really inspired by the colors, the gloss and the amount of paint and brushstrokes on canvas
Also, comparing one painter with another and how they interpreted almost the same landscape

Decided to walk around and saw people enjoying themselves....after covid
and the flowers in bloom

And I am working on the CF ray quilt
Can hardly wait to put the batting and begin hand quilting it
and moving on to the next project
I actually cut out some pieces to a small storage bag and working with plastic for the first
time...will take photos of that project in order to continue with my
journal
Reading and reading....reading RBG one of the biographies on her plus her
little penguin dissents book, which is a series

I started on a Alexander Hamilton biography as well
watched a dvd on Mrs. Lowry and Son
I may have been the last person to watch this film
I really enjoyed it...except for the abuse poor L.S. Lowry had to endure
Lowry really loved painting...his story inspires me
It is very hot..over a 100 degrees...I look out the window and remember
the snow that was there only four months ago
Things really change rapidly

Grace ......great read and great talent

Train....Graffiti...Art....before covid..Austin however has lots of graffiti that wasn't there
before covid?  Would that be considered Art or a Public outcry?

The new season has begun and the weather is very different

some places are receiving lots of rain and some are complaining

on NPR that they had their fireplaces going last week and now

it is in the 90's.....the weather is unpredictable......

The leaders of our country wonder why businesses can't find workers to fill

their shops.....but when covid happened so, many things changed

and so, many people passed away.....maybe they filled the shops?

I'm not sure why they wonder...they think everything should be the same

covid-19-the pandemic

wasn't just something or just anything.....

it really changed people's lives


I've been working on my CF ray quilt and also on a small

bag too keep my quilting supplies in

and reading......I graduated last month with my paralegal degree

and I'm happy I don't have to study......at least for now

one can learn something new everyday....or by attending school

I now have a Bachelor's degree in Art History with a minor in History

And two Associate of Applied Science degrees: one in fashion design and the

other in paralegal studies

And one year on my Master's degree in legal studies completed

Do I know Microsoft Suites (yes)

Do I know about Legal Research (yes)

Do I know how to use Westlaw (yes)

Do I know how to read and write (yes)

Can I get my Public Notary (yes)

Can I pass a background check (yes)

Just some really "smart" questions asked during some of my 

Interviews?
