Another photo of sand castle only
In Photoshop I carefully removed Ed from the top photo and placed him in the second picture. The proportions of the castle in relation to Ed are a bit off, but all in all a good photo.

Artist and Sand Castle
Last Saturday while my husband and I were walking on the beach, we came across Ed Reed III an incredible sand artist. Once I got home and looked at the pictures I took, I noticed the woman climbing a rock in the photo with Ed in it. That would never do...

Are we having fun yet....NO!
I thought it would be fun to try painting with oils. I have several artist friends who use oils so beautifully - they made it seem like it would be fun and easy - NOT!
I had no idea how different oils are from acrylics. I haven't gotten the hang of mixing paints or applying same to the canvas - so frustrating!
I used acrylics on the background - not so sure this was a good idea though. I waited until the acrylic paint was totally dry, but correcting "mistakes" on the foreground is really hard to do now.

I used charcoal pencil to draw rough figures - used my oil paints to add underpainting to my drawing. I'm having a hard time with the paint always being wet - I feel like I'm just making a big mess trying to blend the paints - details are scaring me - I've completely painted over the faces twice because I was really unhappy with how they were turning out. I know it's my first try with oils - but already I'm thinking about throwing them out! BAHHHH!!!

What's on Your Palette?
The oil colors on the palette are beautiful. I wonder what the artist created with them. Unfortunately, I didn't hang around long enough to find out.

Budding Artist in Budapest
As I walked through the book fair being held in the square near St. Matthias Church in Budapest, I saw this sweet little girl who was totally engrossed in her artwork.
