I did two paintings yesterday, back-to-back, literally. Painted one, turned around and painted the second one facing the other way.

Looking towards Granite Dells
BlogThis painting I did yesterday, from up the hill behind my house again. It has been a long time I used a palette knife, it was interesting, though I think I have been enjoying using a brush better. Now only if I can figure out how to use one!…
Saturday morning Life Drawing- Noel
BlogYesterday our model was Noel. Very sweet guy and yet just sculpted. It was a lot of fun to draw him as you could see every muscle and bone. All surface goodies things you learn while studying Anatomy while never see. So this was a "treat" shall…
Looking East-Winter-5pm
BlogAnother one from the gorgeous view that you get when you climb up the hill behind our house. It just about a 360 degree panoramic view. From Bill Williams mountain in the north to the San Francisco peaks at the base of which Flagstaff is situated.…
Orchids
BlogI always tend to kill orchids. It's sad because I love them and I have looked up on how to take care of them, but they just don't survive. But I will keep trying. These ones some friends brought over for me a couple of months ago and they are…

Thumb Butte, Day 13, 30 in 30
BlogAfter the figure painting session this morning, I actually also did a plein air (phew!), I am behind and I need to catch up. So here are the efforts... I am happy with it overall. I feel like I got a teeny bit closer to the look and feel that…
