My new paint finally arrived!  I tried Zinc White from Golden, then Dick Blick's brand of Blick Artist's color.  My question was whether the pricier paint is superior to the students' acrylics. I'm thinking that it's a tad smoother and more blendable, less opaque.

I really had very little time for painting today.  I cleaned house, did laundry, grocery shopped, wrote some IEP goals,  compiled PLAAFPs from teacher input, etc.

And I watched the Mermaid, A Body Found special.  I was very tempted to put some mermaids in the sea scape!

One of my teacher friends had a birthday this week.  I offered her any painting from my wall at school. And, wouldn't you know it?  She chose my sanity picture, the lake surrounded by mountains that hung by my desk!  I'll have to finish another.

Sometimes, you'd like to dive into that lake--at least in your imagination.

Rich, golden leaves look a little like pumpkins or lemons. 

I'm experimenting with some glaze here. Paintings

Texas Hill Country Painting...trying to get the bluebonnets just right. 

The thing is, even from a distance. bluebonnets don't look like solid blue.  They have tiny dots of white on top of blueberry colored bases. And the sky--it can look a little like orange sherbet.
