2. selling clothes in the mall (for two whole miserable weeks)

Four Movies I Can Watch Over and Over
1. any of the Lord of the Rings movies
2. The Usual Suspects

Four Sites I Visit Almost Daily
OKAY, now -- there are a lot that I visit nearly daily! How do I list just four?
1. Laurelines - because I always learn something from her work! (but don't we all?)
2. Patrick's Blog - because he is always outdoors, doing cool stuff (and I love his dog pics)
3. Diahn's Blog - because she's my local drawing buddy and I love her stuff!
4. Karen's blog - because she's my baby sister who never used to think she could draw, because some cheap slob who called himself a high school art teacher was a *insert series of words of your personal choice* and now she's finally realizing that of course she can do whatever she puts her mind to and is actually pretty doggone good at it! Go see it. Tell her hi. Tell her that her big sister loves her, (but remind her that I can still kick her butt anytime I want to.)
Four Places I Would Rather Be Now
1. Florida, visiting the dear daughter and her sweet hubby! oh, and the puppy ...
2. Arizona, taking a botanical drawing class with baby sis
3. But, hey, I kind of like where I am right now ...
4. Hmmm... did I mention Colorado?
Four Bloggers I Am Tagging

2. Bonny
3. Lin
4. Robyn

This is an excellent example of loose strokes that are very descriptive of the object. Nicely done!
I like the lemons. The colors are so bright. Makes me wish even more that my lemon tree had fruit this year.
BS Karen
ps. I know you can still kick my butt and it scares me.
Love the yellow studies... the lemons are zesty looking. :)
Ah, Linda -- you're a sweetheart!! And my first tagger! LOL
ABSOLUTELY LOVE thee lemons!!! ADORE the colors you've used in the lemons and the shadows. After my trip to Sicily I fell in love with lemons (even more) -- so these just make me pucker up and return me to that magical island. BRAVA, cara!!
Your lemons are luscious, Linda. Hmm. Lots of ls, there! It is fun to see how someone else approaches color study and your loose painting style is an added bonus!
And thank you for your very kind words, too, my friend.
Lovely lemons. :o) I like the hint of purple in the shadow too. Very nice.
Lovely lemons and I guess artistic ability runs in the family. I like baby sis' drawings.
