Ugh. Maybe thats why. Yesterday I did begin a short 5 week class at KAC- Kirkland Art Center- with Ralph Murray. So glad I did. Worked on this Maine shingled building I had started. Not finished but htought I'd post. Not sure about the windows???<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1592941869851818426-5174126347948457213?l=criscreates.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>crishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15510568079459589931noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592941869851818426.post-22698943645887877022009-04-19T09:00:00.002-04:002009-04-19T09:04:06.354-04:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I8x5q8Sk0bM/Sesgr4ka3aI/AAAAAAAAADU/t4YWStJEIgM/s1600-h/artshow,dock,roses+023.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326386922587348386" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_I8x5q8Sk0bM/Sesgr4ka3aI/AAAAAAAAADU/t4YWStJEIgM/s200/artshow,dock,roses+023.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Its been a difficult winter in cny with 150 inches of snow.

He loves going out in the canoe. He stands in the bow, kind of like Leonardo in the Titanic or in the middle trying to catch water being thrown by the paddling. Hes quite the guy.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1592941869851818426-694578592324331110?l=criscreates.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>crishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15510568079459589931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592941869851818426.post-54570923524564405822009-04-19T08:50:00.002-04:002009-04-19T08:54:42.876-04:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I8x5q8Sk0bM/Sesed8O89_I/AAAAAAAAADE/4ybWG30IL9I/s1600-h/artshow,dock,roses+015.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326384484029626354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_I8x5q8Sk0bM/Sesed8O89_I/AAAAAAAAADE/4ybWG30IL9I/s320/artshow,dock,roses+015.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br />As a member of the Rome Art Association, I had 2 pieces entered in the member show in the fall. <em>Purple Iris </em>won a first in the craft division. This was quilted using the snippet method.

Created this blog to share my art journey, daily projects and their progress, my many travels with their photos for you to enjoy. This all is a learning process for me. Four shorts months ago I created my etsy shop- criscreates.etsy.com. Please visit me there. It has a combination of fine &amp; fiber art.<br />Being a dog lover and owner of Murphy, a five year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, I of course put brush to paper to paint others' beloved pets and creted Paws and Claws by Cris.<br />Again my first post and must do some learning on posting photos for you to enjoy. Murphy will be first then hope to include works in progress. Made great progress on Bailey. a Yorkshire Terrier, last night.<br />Breakfast next.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1592941869851818426-6650163635463290473?l=criscreates.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>crishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15510568079459589931noreply@blogger.com0
