It’s 10 degrees in New Jersey. I’m happy to be heading to warmer weather.
Fortunately, first thing Monday morning, Ed solved the problem I was having with my K-car. It barely made it up any incline and had no oomph when merging from the left onto a highway into speeding traffic. The exhaust system was clogged. My mechanic treats me like a queen. Maybe it’s the oatmeal raisin cookies I bring him, or maybe he just loves working on my old junkers. Being in a panic, hoping I could make it to his shop without having to call to get the car towed, I left my backpack behind. Ed gave me paper and pen and I settled in to drawing the Pipe Bender I’ve had my eye on for a couple of years now. Ed finished up with my car before I finished the drawing. What service!
Why do I mention this while waiting for my plane to take off? Because Tom’s car broke down in the driveway at 2 am when we were leaving for the airport. A quick switch over to the K-car and we were on our way again. It took an hour for the car to warm up, but at least it works!
I hope to see some of you in a few days in Santa Rosa, California! I’ll be at Village Art Supply. There will be a free demo on Thursday evening, an art appreciation session on Friday evening and full-day workshops on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday! It’s not too late to sign up.

Yes. I’ve painted it and drawn it many times.

In Indy we have 15 degrees with a 3 degree wind chill. Not my idea of a good time. Indiana winters are a real roller coaster ride. This is a magnificent drawing. What complexity! Enjoy the warm weather.
