Chocolate Milk
Thanks to all for your responses to my Cows. When I finished it on Tuesday night, I felt very good. I was not hurried, unlike my other assginments this semester, and I put the last few grass sprigs on the piece before sitting down for a celebratory Harp.(It's so nice not to be pregnant). At my class last night I was feeling anxious because there are so many different painters in my class. So many of them are very good. We all are good at something. We were to put our painting up on the bulletin board along with the others and our orignal photograph.
The assignment was to duplicate it as well as we could. I put mine right in the middle. I have no fear of critiques. I tried hard, and if the prof had something harsh to say I probably need to hear it. And also since Molly said such nice things about my piece I wasn't feeling as worried, Thanks Moll! Robert looked at my cows and a happy grin spread across his face Where's Katie? He said. I raised my hand and he said Don't you just love Cows! I mean, I know y'all don't want to admit it, but there's just something about cows! He said it reminded him of chocolate milk. Mmmm. He also said I should enter it in the student show. Well, we'll see about that. I dunno if I want to pay to get the Cows mounted if I can sell it before then. I'm such a money grubber. Actually, I like my cows. I've said it before, I'd like to paint them again.
On a lighter mommy note. Thursdays in September have been nice because they have had music in Marietta Square at lunch time. Since Joel scored a bizillion Chik-fil-A coupons on ebay(and as we know Chik-fil-A always takes coupons, even expired ones) we swing by, get some discounted chicken, and go see the music. 
Well, every week has been a keyboardist which isn't so bad except the guitar player last week was much much better. His name was Dominic! and he had a two necked guitar, a trendy look, and played a bright blue digeridoo! Josiah had a blast, I could barely keep him still to eat! This week was another shmaltzy keyboard player. The kids still loved it and danced around in front of the stage. I was joined by Ian and Ava's mom (I'm terrible I never ask names) and we had a good team effort going Could you watch her for me? Can you see his head? Oh! there he is... But I forgot to post pictures from last week. I'm still trying to get support to tell me how I can load movies on here. Cuz I got a neato movie. Fun times.
I'm going up to Chattanooga tommorrow to get 4 paintings stretched, and up to 9 paintings photographed by the bestest framers ever with the bestest prices and that oh so family like feeling---Framewrights. There's a testimonial for ya! Somebody Google Framewrights, see what comes up! Ah, very little homework so I can plan for the big things to come. Also, I don't really know how it works, but I think I have a mailing list thing on my sidebar now. So if you want invites and info to shows and festivals submit your info there. Groovy.

Yay for cows!
I'm your teacher liked it. I did, but I just don't have developed categories to talk about art, so I feel like if I say it's great, it doesn't really mean much. But I think it's great, and I'm glad your teacher does, too. Have fun in Chatty.
