Still Life Workshop

Today I attended a still life workshop. There were 3 different still life’s set up around the room. I did something with each still life. With the lemon still life I first did an abstract, which is really my first abstract painting and I loved doing it. And I love it’s simplicity. It justContinue reading “Still Life Workshop”

Plein Air

24×24″ oil on canvas I took my canvas and paints into the foothills yesterday and started this painting. It was a little cloudy and windy. But not freezing. But not quite spring. I just really wanted to be outside.

Sketching

Still here

You can’t ask for too much moreContinue reading “Art in the Bar Show”
