Estelle Battles Leada for Sue's Art

Just an hour ago at Sue's house, these otherwise sedate and matronly women were fighting over who would take home Sue's lovely artwork! Estelle (seated) had opened the gift, but it was Leada's turn to either select a new one to open or to "take" someone else's; she chose to steal Estelle's! Imagine! Stealing from a sweet little ol' lady like that, and at Christmas, too!

Our Name is up in Lights! Angel Show!!

We're on the marquis once again to all passersby that another watercolor show, this time of angels, is nigh. Oh come all ye faithful to our splendid show and gaze upon the angels on high!

Estelle's Cadillac has arrived!!!

Today during class, the group presented Estelle with a new walker.  Not just a walker but the cadillac of walkers.  Her new walker has two compartments and a seat so that when she goes to workshops she can carry more stuff! I hope I can be like Estelle when I grow up! We love you Estelle!!!

Walton Watermedia Workshop Experience

Walton Watermedia Workshop 2010 is beginnning!  Today we composed four images on 22x28 index paper and learned how to squirt-tex.  The paper is very wet and allows the colors to do some fabulous things of their own accord.  Here is Estelle front and center absorbing all the master has to show us and Sue on the sideline. Leada is behind the camera as usual :0) Doug Walton wetting his paper
