My Travel Sketchbook...

...and my sketches from our "Cowgirl Up!"
It was a "girls out" kind of day
complete with art, laughs, and a trip to
Anita's Cocina in Wickenburg, Arizona for lunch.
Photos are posted here.
(As always, you may click on any image to enlarge
for better viewing.)

 A bit of epherma and the my impression of the official
"Cowgirl Up!"
signature cowgirl artist boot logo
are shown above.
What glorious, beautiful, intense pieces of art we saw from...
"the other half of the west!"
A sketch of the door lock from the museum door
and some more bits of
lovely leather tooling round out
my pages from that day.:)
All drawing were made ink straight in...
lead free...
with watercolor added at the end for some extra zip.

"Drawing is a frame of mind, a loving embrace if you will."
~Susan Avishai

"Do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day,
for no matter how little it is,
it will be well worth while,
and it will do you a world of good."

"Candy and Jelly..."


...From a Prickly Pear cactus..."Out Wickenburg Way"!

According to Wikipedia...
"The fruit of prickly pears,
commonly called cactus figs, Indian fig or tuna,
is edible,
although it has to be peeled carefully to remove the small spines
on the outer skin before consumption...
Cactus figs are often used to make candies and jelly and a refreshing drink."

Click here to see some Prickly Pear goodies to purchase and eat!

Happy Cactus Monday All!
Fill yourself with all kinds of cactus treats today. :)

"It's Almost Time Again..."

...For a bit of plein air painting!!!
A cold front is coming into the state this weekend...
Temps are to drop to the mid 80's and really cool off at night.
It will be most welcomed
by both me and my outdoor sketching friends...
the tall and stately palms
I wonder if they have missed me
since my last visit?
