Happy Trails!

I have decided to close this blog for at least the summer. My life is heading down the very creative path, and the blog is not helping with that flow. Rather, it's jamming things up.

Plus, it doesn't serve the main purpose of learning the faith anymore. I have my home church for that. I think it would be a better idea if I meet more Lutherans in person, because the Internet tendencies are perpetuating stereotypes. Somewhat.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and you may see me come back in the fall. I will continue to read a handful of the Luthie blogs that are theological or fun.

God Bless,
Love,
LuLu

YEAH TOAST!

Today was a great day. Life drawing was good, I love the four buck sit-in fee, complete with tables and easels. Made a few good lines, not any one work is kick-ass, but some detail stuff got better. Plus I used pastels for the first time in years. Threw color around for some abstract stuff. The girl got Fuchsia nipples in one drawing. Can I say nipples here? Too bad, I just did. Not sure what else to call them.

Berkeley was warm, sunny, and busy. I did the nom-nom at Smart Alec's, THE place for cheap and healthy eats. Veggie burger, garlic fries, big Caesar salad, home made corn bread and wheat buns. Saved half for dinner.

The rest of the afternoon saw research for a color consult and design job, and a stop for fresh Indian spices. And a giant 10 pond tub o' brown basamati rice.

Church tomorrow, then up north for parental visiting and a blow out art supply sale.

Later!

Finally, Some Ernie Kovacs

For some reason, this video truly summarizes the week I have had.

And, The Brain

Some folks may remember this cartoon version.

Every July, Peas Grow There

I'm so glad someone put this on YouTube.

ANYWAY...

I'm looking forward to my first life class tonight at a new venue. It's going to be packed, so one needs to get there early to secure a good view, otherwise I will be drawing dollhouse figures.

There are huge art supply sales around town this weekend. Looking at purchasing a drawing clip board, and if the price is right, a French easel for plein-air painting. (Meaning painting outside).

LOVELY

I have had a great few days of annoying emails from someone, (which seemed to have truly stopped), but now I am being called a liar for quoting one section.

Here is the section that has made me angry. It says the following:

"It was simply my observation that you seem to want to have your Stregha past along with your Lutheran identity. Won't work, sweetie."

Because to some Lutherans, my past prevents me from truly being redeemed by Christ's death and resurrection.

Something to point out. I know the majority of people reading this don't believe the emailer, so it's cool. Just FYI, though.
