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.

I made some progress on these 2 paintings today. Progress. But I was practically lying on the floor moaning about the double portrait during class today. Everyone just ignores my drama.

Still here
I didn’t post anything yesterday because I had just started this portrait and it took a while for it to look even a little bit ok. This is a cropped in version, and I kinda like it this way. But the real thing has both boys faces. This is a portrait of 2 brothers. TheContinue reading “Still here”
