Mini Art for Christmas...

 

Thanks to all of you who buy from me and other local artists for the Holiday season.  Art is a very cool gift and even though I get overwhelmed this time of year with the extra work...THANK YOU!  Someone apologized to me the other day for scheduling a private lesson during this busy season for the inconvenience.  My response...INCONVENIENCE ME!  I rely on those of you who give my work a home and who allow me to share my gifts.  So again...thank you!!!!

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!

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.

Choosing paints

Many of you ask me what my favorite brand of oil paint is. Mostly I use Gamblin oils. I love, love, LOVE the creamy consistency, they are high quality, and they are so affordable. Do I have other brands in my oil box. You bet. Will I try other brands. Absolutely. I'm thinking of adding Vasari to my palette this year as a matter of fact.

Hello 2012 !!!!!

Well, we're here in Sunny (but a bit chilly today) Florida! I'm so excited about painting down here the next few months and I'm already loving the weather! I ended up breaking my phone yesterday on my second run (more like jog for me!) of the year. Funny, I don't mind running when I first get down here. I'm so excited about the warm air, its fun to exercise!!!

This is another little still life from December 2011. I did this one from a photo. It was harder than I thought it would be because I usually have a photo and the actual still life right in front of me. It presents a challenge when you only work from pictures.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!
