Daylight savings....



I was just looking at the calendar and daylight savings is just around the corner. I love when we "spring forward"! There's something so cool about how late it gets and there's still lots of sun in the sky.

Some Rough Figure work...







Well, since I've been doing mostly drawing lately for my class, thought I would post one. Not many details in these yet, but she looks like a human female right! My first male drawings looked like Sasquatch without the hair! LOL! I'll no doubt cringe at this as I get better, but we all start out this way right!

Busy week...



Crazy week. What else can I say! I've been doing more drawing than painting this week. I'll definitely show them off in a later post.

The palette knife....



If you look closely at my work, you'll see that most of these little paintings are done with the palette knife. I basically block in the blue sky and the grey/green for the land mass with a filbert, then I'm using the knife the rest of the time. Oils blend so beautifully, even with the knife.

Painting days...



While I'm here in Florida, and away from my usual studio in KY, I sometimes have to "make" myself paint. Now don't get me wrong...I love painting but I'm in much smaller quarters here and the sun beckons me to ride my bike, go for jogs, or layout almost every day!!!! (For those of you up north...yes, I can imagine your eyes are rolling.) On top of that, I can't leave my workstation/paint/paintings set-up. It can be difficult to drag everything out, then put everything up, verses having a couple easels and full length tables set up and ready to go at all times. Believe it or not...that's the bigger problem than all this beautiful weather. I miss my studio. I did however have a great painting session a day or so ago. Can't wait to share those with all of you!

It's Saturday!!!!



What beautiful weather we've had here. I've started my figure drawing class so I've been doing more drawing than painting this week. I need to get back in practice. I'll post some later.
