Wild About Texas INFORMATION

The Salado Village Voice newspaper has a column written by Mr Michael Price. In this column he focuses weekly on the natural world around us. His intent is to present information about the insects or animals. My intent is to research more information about the creature he chose and use watercolor and prismacolor pencils to illustrate it. 
Please note that I never use the image he has in the newspaper but I research my own and I add extra information that I read. Since the column stated, February 4th 2016, I have done and will try to do every column he posts for one year. 
Below I have a sample of what all the pages look like:

  1. Table of Content
  2. Even numbered pages have the newspaper article
  3. Odd numbered pages have the watercolored/colored pencil drawings and researched information.

Challenge: Cat

A colleague of mine gave me a challenge.  She asked me to draw a picture she had in her phone and I did.  Not bad for a 15-minute drawing with a regular pencil.

HOW THIS PICTURE CAME ABOUT…
Alternated with my 17 yr old son - I painted for 5 minutes - He painted for 5 minutes - I painted for 5 minutes - He painted for 5 minutes (You get the idea!) We did this for 1/2 hour and this is what came out! - It started as a woman and it is a clown.  Love it!

Golden Years

By David Bowie
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come get up my baby
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
Come get up my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up my baby
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Some of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe oh Lord
I believe all the way
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Songwriters: DAVID BOWIE
