Art prompt for this week - Do a landscape using pastel colors. The challenge for me is to only use color and not resort to a line drawing. Reference: Personal photo from the Nazca desert in Peru. Caption: A tree casts a shadow in the desert. Watercolor 5 x 7.

Art Challenge - "Shopping"
It's been ten years since I did my last Art Challenge for Drawspace. Since 2020 is not being a good year to travel its time to explore old hobbies. Found a challenge on pmp-art.com. The theme for August is "Shopping". Decided to try an ink and watercolor from a photo I took during a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia in June 2007. Size: 4" x 6.25"
2019 in Review
I was out of town about half the year travelling. When in Maryland, I did some chamber music and old-timey folk music jams. Had a chance to play in a couple of flute quartets. Went to the Maine Fiddle Camp in August and Fiddle Hell (near Boston) in November.
My first Jazz Guitar Lesson
Although I started guitar in my teens and belonged to a jazz band back in high school, I had never had a jazz guitar lesson before. I was given Minor Swing to work on in my spare time.
