What Have I Been Up Too?

 

Oh....not much!

The title got your attention didn't it?

 

Okay, so maybe I have been doing somethings.

I was in my first Art Crawl on the 4th,

Wow that was fun. I had a blast.

I had a showing for my paintings

back in 2009 but this was more fun.

 

I met some really neat folks. Made some

new friends. Saw some great art work.

Heard fantastic music. Sold a painting.

 

Not to bad. Staci was a young artist of pen and

ink, and watercolor. Beautiful stuff. Sorry no time for

pics. And Tom was a great artist into reverse acrylics.

The band was two men playing hand crafted flutes,

beautiful Indian music. Mike one of the players

was full blooded Apache.

Amazing talent in that room.

 

Here is one pic of some of my paintings

hanging in the yoya room where our

art was displayed.

 

There will be another crawl in the fall so I plan

on being a part of that only this time I think

I will display for sell some photos.

 

The boys, meaning my grandson's came

for a visit....lol, they just live about

10 minutes away. But the two little ones

4 and 2 like to be in charge. DJ, the four

year old got mad cause Braden the 2 yr old

had something he wanted. He yelled, kicked

my laundry closet door and off the

rail it came. I went to put it back up

and I noticed he broke a plastic

piece that slips into the end of the

track. Lowes, I need to visti you but

I keep forgetting. Time to make a list.

 

 

 Great news....Adam Smith, my niece Paige's

boyfriend graduated from Western Ky, was

signed as a free agent to play football for

Tampa Bay.

Way to go Adam. 

(disclaimer- I did not take this pic)

 

I have been busy for months looking for

objects that look like letters.

I think I have at least one for

all the letters.

So I sat down to do a pic for me...

 

 

I love this stuff. I think it is so neat looking.

I have decided that I want some iris'. I had

some but all mine were purple and taking

over the little bed I had them in. I want

to make a big bed in the front yard and

plant lots of different kinds.

I love this one.

Shot this in Watertown TN.

Rode around out there last weekend

and was amazed at all the different kinds

there were. I wanted to stop at each door

and ask could I have one of each. That

town, small town had more than I have

seen in one place.

 

While riding around with my camera

last Saturday, I needed a camera day so

I ran away from all the stuff I needed to

be at home doing to take pics of

things like this.

 

That would be called the stare down.

 

Loved this shot, but I do need to go

back and take the wires out. I stopped to shot this

guy on the hill when I noticed that if I just

moved the camera a hair I could also get

a pic of the bird on the twig.

 

Two birds (not really) one stone (donkey)..lol

 

This guy was in the same fenced in area and he

was so pretty, but he just would not look my way.

 

 

Riding around and seeing things, stopping at

a moments (sometimes not even there) I catch a

lot of awesome pics.

 

Like this one.

There is place not but about 35 minutes from me, a

cute little town that times seems to have

past by. It has the most amazing small town feel.

Watertown TN.

 

There have been many music videos filmed that.

I sat and talked with the local chairman and

antique store owner to find out that Big and Rich

filmed one there about 3 months ago, I could

not find it on line so I am thinking it has

not been released yet.

 

On the side of an existing building this was put up.

 

Adorable!

 

Watertown decided to just leave it up. I think it is

so cool looking and it is right down an alley

way where you can walk and take pics.

 

As the gentleman was telling me about

these artist, I tried to remember the names

but due to getting older I tend to forget

more then I take in! I do remember he

talked about Justin Beaver doing one so

I pulled it up and watched it so I could

see the town.

 

While reading about Watertown I

learned that a movie called,

Dark Harvest 3-Scarecrow was

filmed there, as well as a

Dr. Pepper commerical done

by Garth Brooks.

Taylor Swift filmed Safe and

Sound there adn Kellie Pickler

filmed some of her video Red

High Heels on the football field in

Watertown.

Then lets not forget Tom T Hall

who wrote a song called,

"Watertown Tn."

 

Check them out of line.

 

 

check out the saloon door handles at

Western alley...so neat. I love

the old rustic rusty look.

 

 

Well, thanks for stopping in and

please feel free to return.

Oh yeah....while you are at it check out the video by

Chris Young. If you will look over the red car that

pulls in, across the street you will see a two story

brick building. This was the Gallery of the

Mad Housewife, and the gallery where I

had my showing in 2009.

Really cool to see that.

 

check it out.
