Chores are done. Critters fed and moved around. Water checked.
Rich is still sleeping so I can't do much in the way of house work. I'm missing CrossFit to wait so I am fidgety.
Since it is chilly out and things are quiet, I thought I'd open up a tutorial on Paint Essentials. It is a program that allows you to mimic painting, except of course you use software.
About this time of year, most things around here are not so photogenic. I mean brown leaves, dreary skies, and dirt are not exactly exciting.
I grabbed some photos I'd taken in October and opened up the program and began to fiddle around first.
Then I tried a pencil 'painting'.
Meh. Not too great, but then I decided to go follow a tutorial.
Why not? I'm never too old to learn something. And who knows, I might like it.
So I went to here: Getting Started with Auto Painting
and followed along as the lady did a painting....
This shot below is similar to the original that I 'painted' in layers.
It is pretty artsy fartsy. Enough to keep me engaged to try some more fun things and watch tutorials while I have to be quiet and wait for the tow truck man.
And while I am still waiting, I did another one.
Because I cannot leave well enough alone I decided to add a layer of writing and then take my finger and smear paint around.
All in all, it was quite fun.
Since the Tow Truck Man hasn't come yet -- I certainly hope he comes before the snowfall tomorrow -- so on to cleaning the coffee pot and working on a DIY project that I'll share for the November doldrums.
Oh and laundry folding. How exciting is that?
Toodles...
Cool project stuff coming up.
Oh and for sure more cleaning in the large shed later this week.
