This was a new experience for me. It was delightful . I have felt like a fish out of water where color is concerned. I wear almost all blue clothes, my home is painted in all cream. So this exercise had me in uncharted territory and I loved it. All kinds of patterns and discoveries revealed themselves. I could have been mixing and fooling around forever, but need to stop for now. I would love to put in my images but failed at the drop and drag thing . The mountain scene was so complicated I had to break through fear to do it. The bird fell more into my comfort zone. I experimented with adding white or black to get the exact shade I was looking for. Thank you to Liz for the course and to all you participants who I also learn from. Marilyn

I have seen a great horned owl on a nest near Prime Hook Delaware. I knew the nest was there and stopped by repeatedly with a spotting scope. Have seen Spotted owls at dusk along a marshy area. What beautiful flyers they were. A snowy owl was camped out at beach near my home in Delaware. I got a really good look at it once. I saw a really big grey owl just at dark. It was in flight and shot by about 15 feet off the ground. I don’t know what it was but it was magnificent I hear screech owls and “hoot” owls regularly, have never seen them. That is my total lifetime owl experience and I am 72.
