Aubrey, Texas

This weekend is Aubrey's famous Peanut Festival. I thought it was time for me to sketch a few things in my own back yard. We live a block away from these sites on Aubrey's sleepy Main Street. Included is a mostly abandoned strip of stores, the little old church on the corner that is now an event place, the closed down Peanut Factory and how about that quaint Police Station!

An "artist" painting an artist painting an artist

Sitting on a bench in the Santa Fe Plaza provided all the subjects I needed. There was a colorful character posing for a REAL artist. I did a quick sketch of the guy. When I returned to the house we were renting, the owner stopped by and saw what I was painting. He saw this sketch and said, " Oh, that's Don!" He told me that Don is an old prospector from Idaho, who has been in the area for years. Well, Don lit up the Plaza that day and I just had to record the moment.

I also wanted to give a shout out to the very talented Mike Mahon www.mmahon.com . It was pure joy spending some time watching you and your delightful model.

Some love from Waterblossoms!

After neglecting my blog for too long, I finally posted some things yesterday. What a boost, to wake up to this recognition from my very favorite http://waterblossoms.blogspot.com/

Thank you, Peg, for the inspiration and joy you bring to me (and so many) every day.

A bonus comes with these awards. I am always introduced to new and very talented bloggers. I am honored to be in their company.

Good thoughts,

Lisa
