I live near Chicago so it's pretty cold here in the winter. But so far this year, every time we get snow, it melts within 24 hours. I hope we will have some before Christmas.
I have my mittens ready and want to go sledding!
I took a trip to the Field Museum in Chicago this week. Always entertaining and educational. One of the best parts for me as an artist who paints a lot of birds, is the hall of birds exhibit. People often ask me where I get all the information for rare birds I may paint or birds that are not found where I live. Sometimes I get photos through my own global travels. But these specimen are a wonderful tool for me as a bird artist. The birds are so perfectly preserved and the expressions and poses are so well displayed that their personality and habits are taken into consideration. I also feel glad knowing they were not harvested or...
My sister surprised me with tickets to Green Day concert at Wrigley Field. What an awesome experience! To be in Wrigley Field Chicago Cubs Stadium to see and hear and experience. Even Green Day said they were overwhelmed!
