Bumble Bee Whimsy



Sometimes you can learn a lot from copying.  I made every effort to copy a painting by Anthony Morrow.  I really like his work.  I didn't exactly duplicate it here but I had fun trying.

Everyday Matters Challenge #1 ~ a shoe


Everyday Matters is a community of artists who encourage each other to expand their creativity.  One way they do this is by suggesting a list of challenges to draw.  Number 1 is, "Draw a shoe."  Sometimes you just need a nudge to be creative.

Mama and babies

A second attempt at this one!  I tried it again, using a color photo, sitting with my Monday night painting ladies.


I drew and painted this from a black and white photo, sitting in the car, with my little travel paint set.

Arti Gras 2011


My first time going to Arti Gras....  and I loved it.  I painted this at a tent where they were giving instructions to a group of about 30 people at a time.  It was done with acrylic paint in about 20 minutes.

A New Journal for 2011



 
A brand new art journal!  It small, just the way I like AND it's made out of watercolor paper.  I would encourage anyone that likes to doodle or draw or paint, but thinks they aren't good enough, to get a small blank book and play in it with pens and pencils and paint.  It's a safe, no rules, no perfection needed, sort of place to experiment.
