Last week was mostly a wash as far as my getting anything finished in the studio. I did finally finish a watercolor yesterday, but can’t post the pic yet as it is a present for my daughter and she reads this blog:)
I’ve been reading a lot about perspective lately on other peoples blogs and [...]

Sunday morning found Chris and I in the car heading south to El Paso. Our destination; the Franklin Mountains. We had been told that there was usually a great display of poppies there in the Spring. We missed the little festival that they had the weekend before celebrating the Spring poppies. [...]

Back in January of 2003, Chris and I took a our first trip to Arizona together. We drove my Expedition(I no longer own it), and we camped in it. First we visited my brother and sister in law in Colorado and then we went down through New Mexico and over to AZ. [...]

Well, it has been so long since I posted a painting that I’ve done, today I have three!
Now, they aren’t brilliant masterpieces by any stretch of the imagination. No, one is downright ugly and one is so-so, and one is ok. hehehe

I have been so busy reading everyone else’s blog, that I forgot all about mine:)

Yesterday I painted this seascape. I used a pic from a travel magazine as my reference photo. I liked this photo because of the lovely colors. I haven’t given this painting a title yet. I am actually quite proud of myself. And when Chris came home from his adventure he [...]

The day has come to post the first seascape. Again it is from the same book as the landscape I posted previously and the demonstration was by Paul Hardy. I want to make it clear that it isn’t my own design. It also didn’t turn out as well as the landscape did. [...]

I know that I promised to post my seascape pastel, but it will have to wait until Chris gets back with his camera. He is off on an adventure!
Yesterday kind of got away from me. We had errands to run in the morning. First we had a Valentines breakfast at Ihop. [...]

I am so stoked! I have been working on a few watercolor paintings and they just haven’t worked out for one reason or another. I was getting frustrated. I decided to put the last watercolor away for awhile and do some pastels. I am a very new beginner to the pastel [...]
