http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2011/07/style.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Thursday, July 28, 2011. I bet this woman in a "Viennese Caf é" has some stories to tell! She was having a coffee and cigarette in the restaurant of an art museum in Vienna and captured in some photos by a friend. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Before the Food Comes.

Betty Hafner: Oh, to be in Arizona now . . .

http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2008/12/oh-to-be-in-arizona-now.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Thursday, December 18, 2008. Oh, to be in Arizona now . . . On this cold day, I'm remembering a trip to Arizona where the playful shapes of the cacti can't help but inspire. They seemed to be gathering for a meeting (or demonstration? In "Citizens of Sedona" [bottom]. Then what else could the title for this stately cactus [top] be other than "Queen of Sedona"? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Summer Scenery on a Cold Day.

Betty Hafner: Weddings

http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2011/07/weddings.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Thursday, July 28, 2011. A Breath of Fresh Air" was inspired by a wedding in Berlin during a record-breaking heatwave in Europe. A wedding in the wine country outside of Capetown, South Africa gave me dozens of ideas for art. The dancing was great so I used some photos to create "Shake your Booty". On a safari after the South African wedding, we went out each evening "Looking for Lions". Karen J. Brown. September 27, 2011 at 1:41 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Betty Hafner: Mining the Past

http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2008/01/mining-past.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Saturday, January 26, 2008. An old photo of my mother from the '30's showed a playful look on her face that I rarely saw. I tried to capture it in "Begin the Beguine", named after a Cole Porter song she liked. A good friend showed me some photos from the '50's of her husband's bar mitzvah. They were so much fun, I based my "Bunny Hop" on them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How it Begins . . . Places . . . More Capitola CA inspirations. Coast of Cape Cod. John P. Smolko.

Betty Hafner: California coming up

http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2008/07/california-coming-up.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Thursday, July 3, 2008. Another trip to California coming up and a visit to Capitola where my camera and I go crazy with resource material for my art. One glance at this boy in front of the store window and I immediately thought of "The Sirens" of classical myth. Know that she is teaching at "camp" for a couple of months.bet they don't have internet there. Am following Lisa and Matt's blog too.They are in Thailand now. Jean. July 4, 2008 at 10:35 AM.

Betty Hafner: A poem

http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2008/02/poem.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Friday, February 1, 2008. I agreed to participate in a cooperative project with some local poets and my piece, "Another Day" resulted from it. As my choice of an inspirational poem, I selected a piece about the the poet's elderly father, alone in the kitchen in the morning, carefully preparing his oatmeal. This is what the poem suggested to me. I was drawn to this immediately. it reminds me so much of my grandpa. thank you for sharing this with us. =). March 18, 2008 at 3:05 PM.

http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2008/12/san-francisco-coffee-shop.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Wednesday, December 3, 2008. San Francisco coffee shop. I loved the attitude of these two young people waiting for their order, as well as the pattern of their arms and the poster image. My niece Karen kindly let me snap away to get a reference photo.

Betty Hafner: We had a nice fall . . .

http://bettyhafner.blogspot.com/2008/12/we-had-nice-fall.html

My life in Colored Pencil. Thursday, December 18, 2008. We had a nice fall . . . Vermont was doing its 'autumn thing' for the tourists when I was there - "October 18" - and I was hooked too. I had to go back for my camera on a walk when I saw this colorful "Pokeberry Jungle". I was pleased when a judge allowed this weed into an art show with a "Garden" theme!
