"I started photographing my domestic world and writing not just about what I had made,
but why I made it, examining the thoughts that accompany creativity and the act of making."
Jane Brocket from The Gentle Art of Domesticity p. 189 UK edition

A New View








Sunday afternoon in between rain showers, I drove on a side street off of Troutdale Road and saw an interesting view of Mt. Hood through a barb wire fence.  Driving a little further on helped me see a cloud in the shape of an Asian straw hat over the mountain.  If my research is correct, the cloud is a lenticular variety. Isn't it pretty?!

My whole weekend was pretty interesting, because I got to spend eight hours focused on artistic activities!  Woohoo!  Saturday I participated in an art workshop at church. The little girl sliding down the slide was drawn for me by the young girl to my right.  She told me it was a picture of me delighting in life, and in God.  I do!  Then Sunday afternoon I was able to practice using my watercolor pencils. More practice needed, but I did have fun and am learning some basics.

Have you seen any new views lately?
