Cool, Man!

We are just coming out of a few "warm" winter days with highs near freezing and lows in the low teens. Now the problem is everything is getting icy.

Actually it's getting very icy. I was in the back yard cleaning up after, YOU KNOW WHO:

Beatty 

and it started to rain. 24 degrees and RAIN!

It rained for about a half hour. I sure hope the sanding trucks get out there before I have to drive anywhere. Also I'm going to be wearing my snowshoes with cleats for a while, no more falls for me please.

Back to Beatty. She had her 15 minutes of fame as Timmothy, Carol, and I all did a photo shoot of her. My daughter Tina, as a Christmas present, purchased a drawing and painting session with a professional artist. This artist teaches classes by having students pick one of many subjects. We picked "paint your pet". Prior to the class you send the teacher a photo and she sketches the photo onto a canvas and then you paint it. The class will have about a dozen students in it. From our photo shoot today I chose the picture above. I was tempted to use this one you have seen before:

but I really don't want to paint me...unless it's Picasso style. The class is at the end of the month and then I show you what each of the three of us come up with.

What a good gift idea Bob "RealMan" Timm. I got a chuckle at the cartoon picture on the wall. There's always one in a picture...lol

Doug Dawes you have a good eye. I didn't catch that until you mentioned it. I had my wife read your comment and then look and she still didn't get it until I explained. Timmothy loved your comment too. Thanks!

Loved your post, my grandfather was an artist as well as my mother, but I did not inherit the paintbrush:)Endre

Maybe you have just been to busy Endre Barath, Jr. . If you are still interested in art when you retire you could take lessons and be one in the arts family.

Hello Bob - I don't usually shiver but your post provided an unmistakable chill.  Stay safe and steady as the temperatures fall into an area which may be familiar to you, but I try to avoid.

We've had it pretty good overall Michael Jacobs but this week is going to be bitter.

Thanks Kat Palmiotti . The results (in my case) may be laughable but both Timmothy and Carol have excellent skills.

I'm loving the sneak peek into your art project with Beatty as the star, Bob "RealMan" Timm  - it sounds like a blast, and I'm looking forward to seeing the final paintings! Thanks for sharing this fun story and giving us a glimpse into your creative adventures.

Your area is definitely too cool for me, haha.  I would much prefer to photograph sunshine!

Winter photography is a challenge Brian England . Just moving about outdoors is challenging enough this time of year and then to take your gloves off to snap a shot is inviting frozen fingers.
