Noah’s guitar continued
Saturday, February 4th, 2012
I’ve started another painting in my class with Gabriel Lipper so I’m not moving along with Noah’s Guitar as fast as I might, but here’s the latest progress: I think this is where I left off in my last post – still trying to get the rubber out of that guitar neck… Catching the age […]

Noah’s guitar
Friday, January 13th, 2012
Remember the pictures of my grandniece Sophie playing her violin and then a couple years later, her flute? Well, her little brother Noah, now nearly 10, is also a musician. This Christmas I snapped some photos of him playing his guitar and when I was trying to boot myself back to work in the studio […]

Portrait of Dennis and Liam con’t
Thursday, March 24th, 2011
Here’s what happened today. This looks much more like Dennis, having shortened his jaw. The poka dots are from the photo but I kind of like them… hmmm… Values are looking good. Liam’s face was also too long. Checking against my reference I could see how the nose and mouth needed to be moved […]

Sarah was expecting her first baby to arrive in a week when I took this photo of her in her new hat at my daughter’s house. I thought it was interesting that after I got home I felt more compelled than usual to print out the photo and get going. I enjoyed communing with Sarah […]

Our Home and Studio- the color
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
The next day I was excited to get some color on this canvas, but before we get started I want to show you my new glass pallet and color layout. The glass is an old bathroom shelf which is nice because it’s sturdy and has rounded edges. I backed it with kraft paper which is […]

Our Home and Studio- the set up
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
As you know, we are selling our place and making that happen is taking up a lot of my time and energy. Draining might be the word. I was starting to feel like I work in an office, on a computer all day. The remedy was obvious: get back in the studio! If I’m hung […]

“The Wonders” 9 x 12 oil on canvas panel $125 This painting was for another challenge on Different Strokes for Different Folks.

” Magical Miracle” 12 x12″ oil on canvas $150 A couple of months ago I was asked to participate in the Annual Women’s Invitational at Rogue Community College. The theme was Abracadabra.
