Back in time

I've decided to paint the inside of the land with watercolor paint.

The water I finished in one sitting, because of the magic of watercolor pencils.  The land will take much longer--to paint each individual shape.

Really I'm almost done though.  I'm a lot further along than that picture and hope to finish today. Then I plan on shading around the outside of the land, so it stands out more.  Right now it's just all busy-ness.

My summer tradition is to go to museums.  I already mentioned going to the DMA last week.  Later in the week I visited the Dallas Heritage Village with Chris and Heidi.

Heidi in the general store. The general store is really cool, in that you can walk around and touch everything, even ye-old-cash-register.

Me teaching in the one room school house. They even had old student school books on the desks.

Chris being the punk student.

Doctor's office.

Dallas Heritage Village is a fun, educational gem in Dallas that I feel like a lot of people don't know about.   It's closed all of August though, so you'll have to visit in September.

Ryan wasn't with us--he was working.  but here is a picture of him too with Olive.

I could also talk about my visit to the Crow Collection yesterday, but I feel this post has enough pictures already.  So stay tuned.  And probably in my next post the globe will be finished and I will hopefully have started something new.
