I had a lot of fun with the art course I took at the Rec Center. We tinted tissue paper using acrylic, coffee grounds, ink, string and many other mixtures. I've posted some photos of the tissue paper drying so you will get a sense of what we did. There is an art exhibit in the spring focusing on migratory birds, and I'd like to enter it. I hope to use some of these papers we tinted in a collage. Since I can't draw - it will have to be impressionistic. I have an idea in my head of a tree, a branch, a nest, and I guess, some birds!
This morning was very sunny, and a friend called to go hiking, so I'm just blogging while I wait for her. But as I look out the study window, the mist has started to gather above the mountain tops, so we may have lost some of our sun. I find that the sun starts to leave the sky around 2:00 or so. Not that it gets dark, but just that the sun sinks a bit. It reminds me of the way the sky looked on Cape Cod about 4:00 or so in the fall/winter.
I'm back now from the hike which was great. We went up to the Carlanna Lake trail, which they've done considerable work on. It begins with a steep ascent and then at the lake it levels off and winds through the forest. Along the way there are small docks that border the lake - perfect for looking at the breathtaking Alaska scenery. I can't help gushing - I'm just so awed by the beauty of this place.
