I am challenging myself to work on my art every day and create a minimum of 2 finished pieces each week. My intention is to explore ideas and techniques and push myself beyond my comfort zone. I will be working in a series with several different images. My interests at this time are drawing, line, texture and color. I will be posting exercises and challenges for myself and any others who wish to join in the Creativity Journey.

NOSTALGIA!
I was sitting in the doctor's office reading the September issue of Art and Antiques when I came across this nifty little number!!! How cool is this! At the turn of the last century, all gentlemen had a walking cane as an elegant accessory. Some hid a sword, I believe, while others were actually guns. This one was an easel in disguise! The handle came off and there was a metal tripod that dropped down through the bottom. I hope you can see the space for the paints and next to that there was a water container.
I wish my dad was still alive. Of course he would be 107 years old! but he was very clever and I know he could make me one of these. My youngest son inherited this mechanical inventive gene but he is too busy. Who do you know who could recreate this concept? I'm ready to place my order!
Wow! Amazing what gets lost in history.
