Wordless Wednesday: Up in the Clouds

Lesson sheet from a class, maybe 5 years ago, with Laura Tesdahl. It's a different style from the most recent colored pencil pages i've posted.  This is a time consuming realistic style, though i find the simpler use of colors maybe more fun.

Wordless Wednesday: Spring Sign?

i don't know why these things fascinate me!

Wordless Wednesday: "And again differently" (Journal flip)

And Again Differently

Do the Same Thing, Except Differently

Creativity, Drawn Out

  Boom and i are working on a video for you.  You may have seen other artists do a journal flip, and i thought i'd share one too.
  It will not

getting a picture onto my computer

Loading my Pictures, Step 1

  With my actual cameras, i upload my pics with a cable.  i haven't been able to do that with my no longer quite so new phone, so i email the pictures to myself.
  From my gmail, which is on the phone, to my older, Ameritech account, which isn't.  i've not been able to figure out how to upload from a draft email, though the gmail account shows up on the phone and the laptop.

Scanning to File, Before and After

 When i was getting used to the new scanner/printer, i could simply scan to file, on the computer, directly from the printer/scanner.  But then, in one of my genius, complicating, unnoticed actions, i messed that up. Can't do that any more.
  But, hey, no problem, MyGuy showed me how to scan to file by entering from the computer: left click on the Start menu, scroll through the alphabetical listing of programs, then choose the one Epson listing (NOT the other, which looked to me like it should do the same thing).  That would give me a preview scan window, and i could do my scan onto the computer that way.
  But.  A few weeks back, i somehow broke the left click functionality from the start menu.  Not from other places, just there.  But no problem - again, MyGuy showed me how to sign out ,just a right click on start.
  i thought.
  Uh oh.  Problem.  i can't get to Epson from there. My plan had been for this week to scan some kids growing up scrapbook pages, but that will have to wait until either i lug those books to a photo kiosk, or decide to take the pages out & photograph then  email them. 
  Always something, here on the Computer Farm.

Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: Why this one?

From Christmas a few years ago: Boom is on the couch just below my crop.  He's leaning back and up, opening the drapes, while his cousin looks on.
If it were a new picture, i might throw it away.  Boom is the subject, and it's not a flattering view. 
But.
That's a lovely pattern in the curtains.  Maybe useful for something, as a background perhaps?  And his cousin is in a perfect profile.  Nice for cutting a silhouette if i wanted.
Seems i've heard that artists & writers are by nature cluttery people.  Who else would want to do something with this picture?

The Y2K "Joke"

Big scare, nothing happened, right?   

  Well, not exactly.  The expected problem, though exaggerated, was real.  But programmers worked hard to make sure WE, the average user, didn't experience it.
