New "to me" phone app.

Found this new 'to me' phone app. Not sure exactly how it works and might delete it. I like the filters that it has. I wish it posted the picture rather than just he link. It's been around for iPhone etc since 2010 but has just become available for Android phones.

Tulip Time is over for another year

Survived Tulip Time another year. Unfortunately it rained for the parade of the bands but overall everything went pretty well. I managed to stay away from all of the mad chaos. Our town will get back to being a bit normal maybe. Spring has sprung even though we had a bit of summer back in March. I've managed to get my yard and garden ready for the planting which we don't do until after Memorial day as we run the risk of a freeze that will kill our tender annuals. I'll be purchasing flowers for my flower boxed and pots in another week or so.

Here is my latest painting for the second assignment. It was very difficult as I always struggle with foliage but I am so enjoying this class.

This 'n That kind of week

It's been a week since we came back from paradise. H. keeps reminding me that 'it's raining in paradise' hoping I will stop moaning about not being there. Actually the weather has improved here in Holland and Tulip Time festival begins today. I think they will have fireworks tonight.

I've gotten back into my workout routine and that's a good thing and my Imaginary trip to Greece began on the 26th. This is the first assignment sketch after suggestions made by Laure, my instructor. We were traveling in Athens and I am working on a couple other sketches. We are in Kalamata this week and I'll post this week's assignment later.
