In Between

Last week I had the pleasure of working with three lovely ladies who came to my studio to brush up on some watercolor. One of the things we talked about and worked on was this little 6" x 6" painting of blueberries and glass. I've been working on this while I jump from the lighthouse . . . 




. . . back to more blueberries . . .

Although, one of the blueberries in this painting would barely fit on an entire 6" x 6" panel! I'm really itching to finish these three up so I can move on to other projects. Thanks for popping in.

Cardinal On Paper

Happy Friday!

Yesterday, my Thursday morning students (I affectionately refer to them as "my Ladies") asked if we could do a project all together.  Most days everyone just works on their own paintings.  So we decided on a cardinal.  One of "my Ladies" was already working from a lovely photograph that she had taken and everyone was so impressed by her progress that they asked if they could all try.  So I started this little practice - left unfinished - so I could demonstrate more finish work as we moved along after the initial washes.  

Stay tuned for our progress . . . and have a great weekend!

Sneak Peek #1

Commissioned Painting - Sneak Peek


I'm working on quite a few commissions and so I can't really reveal them until they have reached their forever homes.  But I will offer up a couple "sneak peeks" this week to prove that I am really working and not just lounging around the pool.  

This painting went out in today's mail.  I'll be able to reveal its true identity next week.  Until then you'll just have to be in suspense.

Tomorrow I will post another snippet of a commission in progress.  Until then . . . happy painting!

Curveballs

work-in-progress - 22" x 30" - watercolor on aquabord


Well hello there.  I was thrown a couple curveballs over the past two weeks that explain my cyberspace absence.  Two weeks ago today, my dad went into the hospital unexpectedly for a battery of tests that I'm happy to report came back negative.  He is doing very well, and we are all extremely grateful for that.  :)

On a lighter note but nonetheless distracting, last Monday I took a fabulous trip to IKEA (with my dear friend, June) to look for some organizational supplies and other fun doodads.  After 5 1/2 hours of shopping (yes . . . you read that correctly), I came back with many delightful items including an adorable rolling cart for my palette and painting tools, rolling storage for works-in-progress and other various flat files, and some lovely window treatments to help eliminate the glare in my studio.  Hence, I spent all last week, putting together my IKEA furniture (I like to call them legos for adults) . . . hemming & hanging curtains, sorting, carting, rearranging and reorganizing furniture, files, artwork, supplies and books in my studio and basement.  I still have lots more to do but feel that now I am in fine form for creating!

Lastly . . . the images in this post are three paintings in their current state, that I am looking forward to finishing up this month.  I've also been photographing, editing and preparing other new paintings, and developing classes and workshops. While I may have been inactive on the internet, I've certainly been very active in the studio and basement!  Thanks for stopping by.

New Hydrangea Painting - wip

So in addition to the other paintings I'm working on . . . I spent some time last night working on this new painting.  I like skipping around.  While one thing is drying I can attack areas of other paintings.  It keeps things exciting!  :)

Have a great weekend and thank you for coming by.
