A bottle practice.

I really did pretty good free hand drawing and painting my bottles.  I set out to make this as a kind of a modern painting, using black in the background on purpose.  I hope to put this in a frame and use it at the Condo.  I am no where near what Elizabeth does in her landscapes.  I find myself staying away from painting  that right now for some odd reason.  I joined Todd Williams on Facebook today too.  What an awesome artist and man.  I sent him a note wishing I could watch him paint a portrait sometime.  And asked when he will be back in Bartlesville doing a painting class.  The Art Association is doing a water color class right now and of course the artist teaching is awesome.  I think you can find out what they have planned by going to Bartlesville Art Association.  I am sure there will be a Spring Art show also.
I bought something unusual too.  I have a HUGE sweet tooth.  In fact, sweet is probably my favorite and only flavor I will seek out first.  Like, sweet Chinese stir fry dishes, fruit, etc.  Anyway, I bought agave nectar.  The bottle I have is light liquid sweetner, organic agave nectar by domino.  Walmart only had the dark nectar, so I had to look at another grocery store.  1 Tablespoon is 60 calories, which sounds like a lot, but I like 3 scoops of sugar in my coffee in the morning.  Both which I seem not to be able to do without.  You can use it for baking also.  But.....I got it because it has a low glycemic index in foods but gives you lots of sweet for less scoops and provides energy.  One little dribble of that and I was satisfied with my coffee.  I hope this works out for me.
