VSD for July

Photo supplied by Leslie Hawes. "Sunquats"


Here are both my pieces for VSD: Virtual Sketch Day - July.
I am most pleased with both pieces. I loved everyone Artwork for the June VSD and for July VSD. VSD has had a profound effect on me. I just love the concept of rendering a Beautiful original artwork, from someone's Photo.
I belief it is because of all the 'Studio Drawing' I had in College.
Seeing these wonderful finished pieces and the approach used by each person in the VSD challenge to capture the Unique area of the Photo, well it is almost overwhelming. In 'Studio Classes', one did not get to choose the medium to execute the huge and varied stills confronting you at 0700a.m. in the morning and a finished piece to be turned in by 1200a.m. Choosing your own media came as the surprise on the 'Final Test Day". How shocking if you did not carry all you mediums with you and had not the opportunity to be told by those before you of such a shock! I wonder if I would have learned more in my 'Studio Drawing' had there been a class where the Student chose which medium to work in that day? I regret there was not a Still set up to explore the use of photography. (Something to confront.)
VSD-Virtual Sketch Day! is a wonderful open opportunity for those who choose to participate.

Fun about the Telephones

Now you know what happened to Ma Bell!

What you do not know is the absolute, pathetic, situation of telephone wires into your houses and the left over, unrepaired, never replaced LEAD PIPES, carrying your wire into your house. Remember, You and Yours and Pets walk across the land being
polluted by these LEAD PIPES. Not one Business that has anything to do with DSL, or Telephones have been keeping up
or repairing these wires and pipes and boxes for nearly 60 years or more. Not since Ma Bell was broken up and the Babies
were suppose to pull their weight and decided Crumbling wire and high prices to the customer was the best policy.
Not one congressman in any form has responded to my questions. City, County, State, Federal.
You would think the Federal Government would have demanded the slip shod wiring would be a major overhaul
for the safety of all concerned. Guess when an official is burnt by lightening. Some type of Government will
react.

More to come with photos too!
