For all our iPad readers who mentioned they couldn't see the video, we're trying a new way to link this week. Hope this works. Let us know if you still can't see the video, though; we'll keep trying.
Today, we were all about water (and trees—but mostly water). We start with trees and leaves, though, as is appropriate for the season. There are dancing leaves, streetlights shining through nighttime leaves and leafless trees in a barren landscape against an incredible sky. There are some trees behind Ken's trains, and water under the trestles, moving us into more water images—alligators and floating swimmers. The stones on Mark's church and John's elf look like water bubbles, too, don't they? And speaking of elves, look at Pat's outfit! Pay special attention to the shoes; they are so much fun (as are the kids in the playground).
Keep scrolling through for information about Steve's concert at DePaul. These are free and, trust us, they are wonderful. No better way to celebrate Thanksgiving season—yes, it's that time already!
Artists of the day—We had a plethora of riches today at the library table. Kris continued with his intriguing pairings. Today it was Balthus and Holbein. We loved them both—and these books may have influenced a spate of portraits in the future. We can but hope.
Quote of the day—Ken announced that "Negative space is out of fashion!" This was news to us and he was roundly shouted down. Is it any wonder we don't take fashion advice from Ken? Everyone knows that negative space never goes out of style!

Next week's project?—While you were scrolling through, we hope you paid special attention to Ken's second train painting. There has been some talk about passing it around next week and letting everyone have a go at it—kind of like Exquisite Corpse with a brush. This could be a lot of fun, so come back and see if anything comes of this notion.
