Halloween pumpkins Jack-o-lanterns and scenes, adult art class display, 10/29/18

We started with some faces features trying to make them scary rather than friendly! Then some exercises in feeling and expressing a pumpkin form. Finally we drew Halloween pumpkins and scenes as we wanted. Some people used my cards as models or inspirations.

Sunday greeting message drawing, 10/28/18

Originally I drew in imessage as a live/touch message. I see that sharing it to here from the app results in a very low res image. This version is higher resolution because I saved the image to my camera roll and uploaded to here.

Our neighbor made a delicious bean supper for us: Baked beans, ham, Boston brown bread. Another neighbor made cherry pie and mud pie. Someone brought wine. We spoke of elk crossings seen on the recent solo drive out west.

Mexican(?) Squash pan tortlette dessert invention, 10/24/18

Two corn tortillas stacked and cut in half
Thin sliced pats of butter
Sprinkled w salt and sugar
Spread with canned squash, (maybe 2T each half?)
Thin slices butter over the squash
Sprinkling of salt
Liberal sprinkling of sugar
Sprinkling (liberal) of cinnamon powder over all.

Place in the cast iron fry pan that has been preheating on the stovetop. Cover and cook on the stovetop til it is bubbling, melting over the edges, caramelizing, and browned underneath, (hopefully not burned).

Next time I might try a bit of flour in the squash to gelatinize it more. This was good. I stopped to draw up the design paper to help the pic, so this is not just off the heat. Looks different cooled than hot.

Only calling it 'Mexican' because of the tortillas.
