Art and a Visit

#1. Today is the first day of Fall. As I dragged out my 'fall' decorations for the house, I decided I needed to have something on the wall so I did a quick watercolor of a pumpkin.

#2. I just spent 5 days with my eldest daughter, whom I had not seen in a long, long time. It was wonderful to catch up.

#3. We did a lot of eating out while she was here and we got to view the quilt guild exhibit at the local art museum.

 #4. We also went to an exhibit of bronze sculptures at the Cultural Art Center. That was amazing.

#5. We watched a bunch of old home movies, reliving all the fun times the children had when they were younger.... and a super movie (a tear-jerker) "Light Between Oceans". The cinematography was amazing in this movie and the storyline, well, it was something you should see!

    'Light Between the Oceans' - Was that about a lighthouse keeper and his wife who found a child adrift in a boat? It was a wonderful story!
    Have a great week-end!

    Love the pumpkin, Latane! How wonderful to get to spend time with your daughter. Next week I will have my daughter from Houston visiting me! Yay! It's been a year since I have seen her. Before then it had been 3 years. The quilt exhibit looks fabulous.

    You know, I've never thought about making holiday art for my walls. I make crafty decorations all the time, but that is such a great idea! Happy PPF!

    Latane, your lovely daughter left a comment on my blog. I wanted to comment on her blog and tell her how beautiful her tiles are. Love that shower she showed. However, I do not belong to Google + and only Google + can comment on her blog. If I missed a way in through the regular commenting please let me know.

    How fun to be able to create your own fall decor pumpkin painting. - So happy you had a good visit with your daughter. It looks like you did some fun activities. I think the Sculptures would be fun to see and quilts are always so pretty.
