What I Dream About
4″ x 6″ Watercolor Postcard
This is a painting of the plane I am training in, except for my trainer is not red. It’s kind of a dull tan and brown. Where’s the artistic zing in that? *grin*
I did this little painting for a
free project over at Art House Co-op called “What I Dream About”. I have participated in several Art House Co-op projects. I just signed up for the
Canvas Project – Volume 3. I participated in the
Canvas Project, Volume 2 and it was really fun! Their projects are inexpensive or free and a lot of fun to do. I did the
sketchbook project and was able to add like 8 galleries to my resume. The little sketchbooks traveled all over, to different galleries. Any-Hoo, try one of their projects. Here’s a link to
their blog. (I received no compensation for singing their praises – I just like them a lot.)
Last night, I had the best flying lesson….
EVER! 
I am gaining on this thing. I even flew with the strongest crosswind I have experienced so far. It was still great. I’m not embarrassed to admit that several woo-hoos escaped my lips and I was giggling like a little girl. It must be infectious, cause my CFI was laughing with me. What a great day! I must absolutely be the luckiest girl on the planet, except for maybe one that wins a $280 million dollar lottery. Oh….. ya gotta buy a ticket? Crap! That puts me out. ha ha ha
About Oscar Levant
Oscar Levant was a brilliant musician whose work was often overshadowed by his witty, neurotic persona. He was born in 1906 in Pittsburgh and moved with his mother to New York in 1922 to study music, gaining renown as a concert pianist before his twentieth birthday. He composed the scores for more than 20 movies in the years 1929 to 1948. He appeared in movies such as An American in Paris and hosted a TV talk show for two years; the show was taken off the air due to his risqué comments. He died in 1972.
