I'm a little late with the "Old Me" (freshly painted yesterday), but thought I'd post it anyway.

5. self-portrait sketch, age 8

When I was eight years old, my father took me on a long train ride down to New York City to go to the opera at the Met. We saw the Magic Flute, and the thing I remember most about it was Papageno, the bird man. I also remember how everything was gold and dark red velvet and how I was made to wear a frilly pink dress and bows in my hair. I hated pink. But I was awed by the Met. I have never been back and that was about 55 years ago.

This is a sketch with pencil and colored pencil in Peggy's sketchbook.


The funny marks in the background are rose petals on the previous page painted in back gouache.

6. 2 revised paintings

The first one is by me from scratch (water color) and the second is from an exercise in a book (also water color). I added children playing and darkened the shadows in the first, darkened the shadows and added yellow in the second.

8. The Practicing

BB listening to PB practice the piano. This is 16 x 20 and wouldn't
fit on the scanner so I scanned it 4 times and merged it in
photostich, but pieces are missing. I thought I'd psoted it yesterday
and was referring to it int he previous post. I'm off and
incommunicado for over a week.

9. "The Call"

"The Call," by Mary Stebbins Taitt. 87-year old ML fell and could not get up. We got a call from Lifeline. But she'd already been rescued by her neighbor.

This quick sketch I made while BB was talking to ML after the fact.

The upsetting thing is, PB took the call from Lifeline and didn't bother to tell me, even though I was home and BB was not.

I did not scan this, although the quality might have been better--that was an ordeal yesterday!!!! It's 16 x 20 and doesn't fit on the scanner! And I am leaving shortly for PA and NJ camping etc--will not be able to get online--this will probably be my last post for over a week.
