It is on blue mitienses paper, with prismacolors and is approximately 16 x 20. Please leave me a comment if you see anything that I need to so to improve this. I also have this posted on Wetcanvas.

Thanks for looking!

'My Hedgehog!'

Here is my next to final touch of 'My Hedgehog!' - Since I posted this I see one or 2 minor things to touch up - otherwise, I 'think' I am finished. I posted it on Wetcanvas - will wait to hear what everyone thinks.

Here is a color pencil painting that I have just finished. I just love this horse. She is an Ann DeMille Flood lesson. This was a lot of fun to do - prismacolor pencils on vellum. Approximately 11 x 14.

Hi Everyone!

Here is what I did Saturday - took a class in Dayton at the DAGSO chapter with Marian Jackson. She is a wonderful teacher! This is her copy from her website - mine is almost done. This is color pencil on Mi-Tientes tobacco paper. This class was very informative and enjoyable.

When I get mine done, I will post and you can compare.

Thanks to all involved!!!!! & Happy Painting!

Impatience for Charleston

It has been a while since I have blogged - I must apologize for that.

Here is a work in progress - this is going to be titled 'Impatience for Charleston'. It is color pencil on a 16 x 20 piece of blue, smooth vellum. You can see my reference picture that I took along with my magifying glass.

This picture was taken 2 years ago in Charleston, SC on our Honeymoon.

'ART ON THE LAWN'

Good Morning Peeps!

Well this show went pretty well. We really enjoyed it - had a few sales and some contacts. This was a well established show - over 20 years so it drew a big crowd. Unlike the first show, there was no rain! Yeah! This being the 2nd show - we were also more relaxed. I know that I need to focus on some smaller items but hopefully I will be combining the art with some quality crafts.

Keep watching my blog and please make comments - it really makes you feel good when people comment.

Thanks

Happy Day!

SHOW!

Things here have been pretty busy - getting ready for a show this weekend ' Art on the Lawn' in Yellow Springs. Wish me well - hope to get more exposure to the public art world!

Had all 4 grandsons this past weekend - we had a great time - went to a museum for a Dragon Exhibit on Friday night, swimming, Butterfly Festival and Dayton Dragons Game all on Saturday! In between time there were kickball games, playing chess, drawing and playing a computer game - that's what happens when you have three 9 year olds and one 5 year old - must keep everyone busy - but I think all had a great time!

Must get back to work!

AS TIME GOES BY!

This is a watercolor painting done on 300# arches watercolor paper. The actual painting is 13 x 17 and the overall measurement is 25 X 21. It has a double matt, burgundy over ivory with a walnut frame with dust cover on the back.As you can see it is a mandolin with a bottle of wine and the sheet music of 'As Time Goes by' from Casablanca. It also has a book and a bowl. If you would like, I could also change the name of the song and put a different initial on the wine bottle. This is a great picture for over the bar.

Here is my Birdhouse with a cat Pen & Ink painting. It is 11.5 x 13.5 with the overall size 14.5 x 17. It has a painted frame in charcoal with white splatter paint and a wooden feather as an added embellishment.

The weather here was absolutely wonderful here today - we had a birthday party for the Brother-in-law which has been a tradition for over 40 years. Turned out very nice!

Both Gracie and Heidi was groomed Friday for the party - so they were their absolute best! Heidi, the Great Pry, is so white you need sunglasses to look at her now.

Have a great week!!!!!
