After making a couple of rough thumbnails, I attempted this sketch, which I would further refine were I to do this over.
I wanted the soccer net in this park to be the central feature, so it (and the red house behind it) are framed by the tree trunks and the foliage off in the distance.
While I tried to render the various landscape planes according to the brush markers that I had on me, I found the three tree trunks to be most interesting when I looked this over at the end.
The one toward the right was the most "blown out" because of the direct sun. For the most part, all the detail of the bark was obscured. Similarly the tree behind it was in uniform shade. Also, only bulk shadow shapes were visible, with very little bark detail.
The leftmost tree was in dappled sunlight, and while I could see some detail in the light parts, the shadow sections were pretty uniform.
Thus the level of detail that can be rendered in a drawing depends not only on how close/far away the object is, but also on the lighting conditions. The harshly lit tree (right) had the strongest and hardest edges, while the dappled tree to the left had an outline that had both weak and strong edge definitions, depending on how the dapples were falling.

Lesson:
Fold a large piece of paper into two columns. Invite one family member to act as scribe. Ask your family to list reasons why they love little children and have the scribe write their responses in the left-hand column. Then display the picture Christ and the Children (Gospel Art Kit, no. 608) as a family member reads aloud Luke 18:15-17. Have the scribe add the Savior's teachings about little children in the right-hand column. Ask:
Why do you think the disciples tried to keep little children away from Jesus?
What can we learn about little children from Jesus' response to them?
Invite your family to write in their journals a childlike quality that is missing from their lives and how they will better develop that quality.
Story:
Elder Adam S. Bennion
The two following incidents, related by the principal of one of Utah's high schools, illustrate clearly the difference between a repentant and a self-justifying attitude. Two boys had been caught stealing - one had taken some money from another student's locker, and the other had stolen some tools from the manual training department. It is a regrettable fact that stealing should be found in American schools where every possible advantage is given to boys and girls, practically free of charge. But there are students who seem to have little self-respect and little respect for the rights of others.
The boys were called into the office and each one was interviewed separately. The boy who had taken the money was resentful. He said that he was not the only boy in the school who was stealing. Why did not the principal find the others and punish them too? Anyway, he felt that he had a right to take money if a fellow didn't know better than to leave it in a locker that wasn't locked.
The boy who had taken the tools felt altogether different. He was ashamed to think that he would lower himself to the level of a thief. He explained that he knew better than to steal but he had seen the tools lying around, they were just what he needed in doing some work at home, he couldn't afford to buy them, and thinking that perhaps they would never be missed, he took them. When he reached home, he could not make proper explanation to his parents and he was sent back to the school to be disciplined.
The principal was anxious to help both boys - he not only wanted them to finish their schooling - he wanted them to learn one of life's greatest lessons - that honesty is one of the grandest principles in the world. He explained to them that they would have to appear before the teachers of the school, make a statement of the whole affair, and give assurances that such actions would never be repeated.
The boy who had stolen the money flatly refused. He would rather quit school than, as he called it, "be disgraced." The law of the school was enforced and he was asked to withdraw. He left the school with defiance in his soul and with a sort of determination that he would get even with somebody - though he didn't seem to know just who it should be.
Out of the school he found that he had lost the respect of his old comrades, and the new ones who took their places were of a far inferior sort. He soon went from bad to worse until when last heard of he had been sent to the State Industrial School where he might be prevented from committing further crime.
The boy, on the other hand, who had taken the tools agreed to do as the principal required. It was a hard thing to do, of course. In fact, it was the hardest he had ever encountered. He not only was ashamed for what he had done, but how could he ever look those teachers in the face again? But feeling really sorry for the offense, he found courage to take the penalty. He was so manly and frank about it that every one of the teachers, who heard his confession, came to admire him more than ever before. They became his friends and took particular pains to help him find and develop his better self. When he was graduated from the school two years later he was an honor student - respected by every student who knew him. The humility of repentance had led him into a new life. Let us remind ourselves of that beautiful passage in the Doctrine and Covenants, Sec. 112, the tenth verse: "Be thou humble, and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers.
Activity:
Play "Spoon and Beans."
Each player is given a small cup full of beans and a small spoon. Emptying the cup on a table, each tries to fill it again with the beans by using only the spoon. If a person uses his other hand he must start over. The first to replace all the beans in his cup is the winner.

My Arthur had a piano lesson today and I managed to capture a moment of it without their knowledge.
I love that he wants me to sit in on it: it's a rare glimpse of his life that I know won't last.

I did some publicity photos for our business today. This one was too dark to be useful, but a little bit of post-processing made for an interesting shot.
Just started shooting photos friday after work up in the foothills about an hour from sacramento. I get a call from my ex saying she ran over my 13 yr olds leg in her suv. Of course my phone is barely coming in and this is coming in with lots of static. When she was about to pull in the garage he decided to jump out thinking she had stopped ... slips gets leg run over. SO I rush to the hospital he has two broken bones or smashed as the doctor said he will be in a cast for at least 6 weeks. He was really bummed when he found out his competitive soccer team is going to Orlando next month for a big tourny. We see a specialist this week hopefully they can get him up and playing again.
be confident in your decisions - even if you're not really sure where you're going.

Once again I have fallen behind on my Photos so I end up doing a Sunday morning Photo dump. In my defense a lot has been going on and this is but a small Sample of the photos I have taken.
The girls have continued taking swim lessons at Swim West. Things are going well and they both have progressed to the next level. Amy and I really like the teachers there and the class size. If you are looking for a place to go for swim lessons check them out.
Indoor prompt -- Watercolor pencil edges of fireplace - Ink, then painted that focus- decided to add the picture window that is next to it - left colors light to keep focus on fireplace -- I am pretty happy with the result - still desire more spontaneity and looseness.
Lesson book on how to make up like a doll~
I got this book in 2011, I was intrigued by the pages in it, plus a reference for an actress in a short film I was shooting at that time.

I saw this lady laying motionless on grass so my first instinct was to start CPR and as I was taught to remove the bra and get a good hand position to start chest compressions. I woke up in a jail cell with my ears ringing and a black eye. I guess I forgot the first two steps of CPR. (1) Shake the person to see if they are sleeping. (2) Check for breathing then if necessary start CPR...... I would probably do it again, you know how you forget things when you get older

The buildings in the Harambe section of Disney's Animal Kingdom successfully re-create a small African village. The sign on this house literally translates to "the castle house dial alarm." Breaking it down a little, ngome means "the castle" or "the fortress" and piga kengele means "dial the alarm." In America, a similar sign might read "Private property; trespassers will be shot." Regardless, the lock on the door doesn't look like it would stop anyone who really wanted to enter. (Swahili translations from Google Translate.)
