NEW WATERCOLOR PAINTING BY ME




I finished my watercolor classes and now have done my first project on my own and here it is.  It is a painting of an old oil lamp belonging to Phyllis Williams, a friend from Missouri.  One of our son-in-laws, Doug Peterson, has an artist background as his dad, Max, is an artist.  He made some suggestions to highlight the chimney, but I had already framed the picture.  I have shown the original photo, the finished painting and the framed pix.  I could not get the black background to work, so I softened up the background.

BRIAN & NICK MAKE FISH FRY ONION RINGS


Nick and I became the "Onion Ring Guys" this year at the Knights of Columbus annual fish fry during Lent.  The Norfolk Daily News photographer came last week and said we might get our picture in the paper.  We did!
