Milwaukee Lakefront in Winter 1

I spent quite a bit of time on Green last week, finally had a piece that I was willing to hang in public, then rewarded myself by working on something with no green of any kind!  So, if you are in Downtown Port sometime before St Patrick's day, please stop into the former Lueptow's building and check out the St Patrick's Day Landscape contest entries.  There is quite a variety of images and types of art, from photos to mixed media pieces.  After I saw what everyone else did, I wished I had sent my Red Headed Irish Girl.  The "landscape" part of the contest was not a strict requirement apparently, just a suggestion!

Green challenged artist

I did 2 pieces yesterday.  I was trying to do an Irish Landscape.  I confess, I cannot see green.  The subtle differences, which greens match, is it gray or is it green?  So have you ever heard of an Irish landscape that didn't involve green?  Me neither.  So, I am green-challenged.  Even K thought it was bad and she is my biggest fan.   I have 2 more days to get this right.  Or to find an irish landscape without any green.

No Time

No time....Missed opportunity....I will save some room in the trunk for my pastels when we head for Key West.
