Day 117: Tuesday, July 26 - The Conversation
The Conversation for the Sketchbook Project that I'm working on with Nancie Johnson of New Jersey continues. I received Nan's latest addition to our project: The Angry Bird!!
Why is he so angry? He's heard that he's the star of an addictive game called Angry Birds and he just realized he's not getting any royalties!!

Day 110: Monday, July 11 - The Conversation with Nancie Johnson continues
The Sketchbook Project
Nancie Johnson of New Jersey

Our "Conversation" continues
Nancie and I have now completed our third page/conversation in this ongoing Sketchbook Project we are working on. If you remember: We both painted "something"......colors and shapes on a page. We then sent that first page to each other, me in California, she in New Jersey. We attached a second painting to that first page by continuing any lines, colors, shapes from that first painting's edge onto the second page. And this weekend we both completed our third page and put it into the mail.
Here's my first painting. Nancie ended up turning it on its side:

Here's the 3rd - my response:
And here's all three pages together - A Conversation
Tomorrow I'll post the other Conversation that's taking place, the one that starts with Nancie's first painting.
Day 71: Thursday, April 28 - Eagles!! and one more person viewed my Sketchbook.
Got up early, drove around town with the nicest man, Mike Gillissie, a Los Angeles Fire Paramedic. He's the son-in-law of Betty and Charlie McKenney who had the vision 6-7 years ago for Arlington Garden. Little did he know when he married their daughter 3 years ago that he would one day be driving a truck, with Jill in it, going from place to place, house to house, picking up the 6' tall, 2'wide grids that are used to hang paintings in art shows. It's d**n hot today in Pasadena so we started early. Took our truckload back to the Garden about noon.
So there, that's the painting aspect of today.
Except for one wonderful email:
Hello!
We just wanted to let you know that Anna B. just viewed your sketchbook (#35593) at Mercer Gallery at Monroe Community College in Rochester, NY!
Your book has been viewed 3 times so far.
Sincerely,
The Brooklyn Art Library Librarian
eat your heart out Nancie Johnson.
and then? Eagles!!!!!
I don't know how I forgot about "my" eagles! Every year I find a live cam (live camera) that's been positioned on an eagle's nest somewhere in the United States and have watched with incredible joy as these majestic birds build nests, mate, hatch, tend, care, feed the eaglets.
This particular camera in Iowa is live 24 hours a day because of infrared technology.
The actual website is http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles
This pair of birds have produced 3 eaglets, a record for me. Usually I've seen two and have also seen horrible "accidents" as the larger eaglet pushes the smaller eaglet out of the nest, an eaglet simply disappears. In this nest three healthy eaglets hatch and there's an accident that resolves itself nicely. The father bird (I'm assuming here) is trying to straighten out the nest and inadvertently catches one of the eaglets in his beak and throws it to the side of the nest..........It takes almost two days for the little guy to be drawn back into the nest and to be warm and toasty again under the breast of the babysitter.
Get ready to waste (except I don't and never have considered it a waste) time with fascination.
I usually have the website up and running in the background of whatever else I'm doing.......you hear the wind blowing, you hear one eagle calling to the other when he/she is approaching the nest, you hear the babies chirping.....and you click over occasionally an spend another 5-55 minutes with a loopy smile on your face.

Day 55: Tuesday, April 5 - the Nancie Johnson Challenge
Hey Nancie Johnson, fellow Sketchbook Project Participant and AnnMarie Thomas, fellow Sketchbook Project Participant: I just got another email from the Brooklyn Art Library Librarian......My diatribe against smoking has been viewed two!! count 'em, two!! times.
Hello!
We just wanted to let you know that Carissa P. just viewed your sketchbook (#35593) at SPACE Gallery in Portland, ME!
Your book has been viewed 2 times so far.

The Brooklyn Art Library Librarian
This is now a "throw down" event. I saw AnnMarie this morning in class and she said her sketchbook had been seen once. I think the three of us need to find paid participants to view our Sketchbooks in order to make this a true duel!
