Working with limitations

Got about 20 min of "interupted" painting time this afternoon. Hoping
my new studio partner can adjust to longer sessions, or be happy to
run off and play in her room...

Figuring out a dark blue glaze to get some blacks and greys in there,
then need to work out the lighting and colours for the lit side. At
least I'm happy with the scaffolding removal.

Allosaurus and small Dino in the rain...
She got much further on her painting than I did on mine. Need to
teach her how to open her own tubes, but a little afraid of the
consequences!

Sketching at city farmer

Swiss chard and apple tree
Note to self - don't white balance on the sketchbooks when outside - missing in shot is the super cute branch swing in the upper right and the rest of the beautiful plants!
Great art day all around - got to explore a craft gallery and the Federation gallery on Granville Island.

Back!

What a summer!

Two weeks in Alaska, 10 days in Wisconsin and happy to now be back at
home in the messy studio. Taking this week to clean before I crack
open the paints this weekend. Some how extra boxes migrated in while
I was away :(

Big clip

For a small head!

Fast and furious

Not my strongest, and not really my regular subject but quite a learning experience.

This is from the workshop at the Evergreen by David Langevin- very intense, very good, hoping someday I'll have time to test some more of the stuff out before I forget it.... fortunately I took lots of notes and pictures so there is a chance and David kindly said we could always contact him with questions, which I plan on doing!
