Fog in the woods
iPad drawing
8 x 10 inches
Barbara Muir © 2012
I am working on a sustained portrait and it's notready for a first viewing. I will show it to you
when it's ready to be a work in progress.
Today is Monday, and it's been a crazy long work
day at school for me. But driving to and from
school today was incredibly beautiful. The
roads were shiny with rain, and closer to school
a thick fog blanketed the fields, and filled the
woods with gauzy grey. I told Steven how
gorgeous it was and he asked ,"wouldn't a famous
artist like Georgia O'Keefe, or A.Y. Jackson
make a sketch?" So I did -- on my
iPad. Paintings will be here soon. I just missed you
and thought I'd share the impression of "mist"
or in this case, very thick fog.
Have an enjoying-the-warm-mist day.

And now a famous artist like Barbara Muir has made a sketch of this mysterious scene. Clever Steven to encourage you! Lovely.

Hi Nicki,
You are so sweet. I pulled it out of my brain, but probably should have had my camera.
Your work is awesome.
Missing you.

I agree totally with Nicki! What a memory - I'm glad you relied on it!
love, Marcia
Oh, my, your brain works just fine! I love your iPad drawings. Lovely. So glad you are using it for recall.
Way cool...
Hi Marcia,
Thanks I hope you're right. The image was just so vivid in my mind. Lately I seem to see little scenes. But I wish I could give you the whole picture. It was one of those rare fluke weather days. Awesome.
Love,
Barbara
Hi Melinda,
I am trying to keep myself away from the iPad, but it's seductive because it's like clean kindergarten painting, with way more colours. Yum.
Love your work.
