An Hour at Paint with a Twist 

Still working on Satch

I Have been working on this one on and off for about 5 months now, added 6 hours last week. 

Here is a little on Bio on Satchel Paige
Joe DiMaggio called Satchel Paige "the best and fastest pitcher I've ever faced". His pitching was amazing and his showboating was legendary. His career highlights span five decades. Pronounced the greatest pitcher in the history of the Negro Leagues, Paige compiled such feats as 64 consecutive scoreless innings, a stretch of 21 straight wins, and a 31-4 record in 1933. For 22 years, Paige mauled the competition in front of sellout crowds.  In 1971, Leroy "Satchel" Paige was given the ultimate honor, he was elected to join the very best in baseball history in the Hall of Fame.

Bored during the TAKS

Did ever do something you hated?  For me is the TAKS testing done in schools, I know as an educator I am supposed be in to this but I just can't enjoy it. I have to monitor the kids to make sure they don't cheat, disturb or mess with other students during the test. So I got to draw to the students testing ten minutes here, five minutes there and I picked up a  Michelangelo book and I did a few scribbles from there.

Snowed In

For those who have not ventured out in this past week it is cold, so I have been snowed in myself. After catching up to all the paper work since I started teach school again, I have used my free time to draw and a little painting. I have done a little of everything, my mind has been scatter shooting so my drawing has been following suit.
