New online sketch class, 1st page of a brand new journal (Strathmore series 500 hardbound for mixed media), new minimum palette (as close to Liz's as I could come with paints I have) and I'm starting 7 weeks behind schedule. Thank goodness Liz will keep the lessons online for a year! Happy New year of artistic pursuits! It took me way too long to settle on the minimal kit, but was very important to accomplish! I rushed the page being determined to get lesson 1 done asap so I can try to make up for the weeks of lost time, if possible. Frustrated to be starting so far behind and doubt I'll connect with other students who will be working on different lessons. A special circumstance did not allow me to begin at the start. Glad to have now begun on this first day of 2015! Thankful for this experience, it's a blessing. Also... I was trying to place paints same as Liz, and have since realized this is the wrong placement for ME, since I am not lefthanded. Once I've settled on 6 colors they will be arranged differently, (yellows at top, then reds and blues)which may morph again!

I love this picture. This is Queen Paola of Belgium. Next time the wind blows she should let go of her hat, and try to hang on to her royal dignity instead!

This is a left handed mug, very hard to carry if you are right handed. Never really achieved the crop I was after.

Taken on a rainy Saturday - that became a noisy one not long after...
During my engineer training at "BN University" (in the basement of 176 East Fifth Street in St.Paul) I had three weekends to rent a car and discover Minnesota. First priority, on the first weekend, was to see this epicenter of my beloved Soo Line and to, as displayed in an earlier posting, settle my grudge with the "Dolly Sisters." The second weekend I followed the Soo through Dresser and up to Duluth, taking my sweet time as I figured there wasn't much to see in Duluth anyway. When I got there with barely enough time to take in the ROC Buffet before returning to BNU, I decided that the next weekend would be simply planned: GET to Duluth! One place that was quickly discovered was Munger, northwest of Proctor Yard on the Missabe, where this DM&IR southbound ore train passes at 1050 behind three SD9 (170-143-130) crossing under the DW&P bridge. Missabe was double track (evidently with a northbound siding - Missabe was run lefthanded) and stalwart devotees of Duluth rail scenes will note that there was a whole lot LESS foliage! And as noted below, raw ore was served up willingly. I had no idea that years later I'd drive miles to record the passing of a raw ore train on Wisconsin Central's revival of Soo Line's Duluth-Chiago mainline.
