The Will To Draw: Pastels
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2015/04/pastels.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. If you are like me, you enjoy experimenting with different mediums. I decided to try using soft pastels after watching Lynn Chapman. All in all it was quite enjoyable, and I plan to do more in the future. Below is the video of Lynn creating an illustration in pastels. Posted by Tom Barrett. Hey Tom, nice illustration. When I was in art school we used spray fixative to keep the dust down, and create hard edges. Glad to see you are still drawing, and blogging. 8/1/15, 12:51 PM.

The Will To Draw: July 2014
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Yes, though it may seem that I have once again left the blog-o-sphere, I am still here. I have recently found the time and will to begin working on some art, albeit small and quick and a bit messy. I say messy as I did not stretch or tape the watercolor paper prior to working on it, which makes it a bit difficult to work on the more it curls! I can already tell a difference in my attitude since I started back, so I am looking forward to doing more. Posted by Tom Barrett.

The Will To Draw: February 2015
http://thewilltodraw.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. I had hoped to have this more completed before posting, but alas, the day job has to take precedence. Anyway, it is complete enough that that you get the idea. At the top is my initial thumbnail, and on the left is me trying to get the boys' hands correct (hands and hair still give me trouble). My goal is to complete this, along with others, in time for the Don Freeman Grant. Deadline (getting really close). Prayers and encouragement always welcomed! Posted by Tom Barrett.

UN CAFÉ A LA MEDIA NOCHE: Dolor
http://uncafealamedianoche.blogspot.com/2015/05/dolor.html
Mayo 20, 2015. Ese dolor que se aloja. Entre el alma y el cuerpo,. Agujas agudas y sutiles del tiempo. Ese que no grita,. Que me asfixia la garganta,. Dolor que no encuentra letras. Para convertirse en lamento. 6:41 p. m. Enviar por correo electrónico. Publicar un comentario en la entrada. Suscribirse a: Enviar comentarios (Atom).

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Harvest Time.Chard.Carrots! Back in June, I planted these seeds in my raised bed in my urban back yard. I've been harvesting rainbow chard and carrots from my little raised bed lately. They are so colorful, it makes me happy. Here's my recipe for chard casserole. I made this up because most of the recipes I found used only the leaves and told you to toss the stems. This upset my "wasting food is a sin" mentality. Anyhow, read on and you can make it too. Remove the cooked le...

Saturday, June 13, 2009. One nice thing about being back east in May for Surtex is getting to celebrate Mom's birthday in person afterwards. We had a cookout and birthday cake in my sister Nancy's backyard. Here's Nancy in her sunroom/music room, where she gives piano lessons. Here's a nice shot of Nancy's husband John and his gorgeous daughter, my step niece Katlyn. We took a drive with Mom up to Farnham's. Mom enjoyed her little outing. Links to this post.

Saturday, August 29, 2009. It's hot today. It was even hotter yesterday. This is Ace's first heat wave. He doesn't know how to handle it. He's been crashing out on his back in different locations, trying to stay cool. Last night it was so hot that we had to open the door to the kitty cat "forbidden zone,"otherwise known as the bedroom, to get some air circulation. Ace wasted no time in checking it all out, including diving right under the covers. Of course, he had to check out both ends of the situation.

Wednesday, July 22, 2009. What's New with Ace? Ace had a visit from his cousin Christina from San Diego. It's hard to say which one of them enjoyed it more. They both had a blast. They would have played together all day, if we let them. Sometimes a wild jungle beast appears hidden in the leaves of the Schleffera. He's just waiting for an opportunity to pounce. I'm scared, aren't you? Steve says we now have taken over 500 photos of Ace. He is 4 months old today. Links to this post. Wednesday, July 8, 2009.
