HI ! It has been a while...still here working hard.Due to a recent illness ,classes have been limited. Have sketchbook will travel.......much sketching !! I love graphite  !!!  This was done during a stay @ the Pechanga Casino. It is being translated into a watercolor. Almost complete !!!






                                                               Graphite location study was fun !!
                                                             Translating it into a watercolor, I found difficult !!
                                                              It was critiqued positively!!!

Working on a WC of Shoden....Such a cutie !!

Good morning ! I have been working in my sketchbook,putting down ideas for future works.

Worked with graphite and watercolor.......I have a lot of work ahead of me.I love it !! It has been one year since I started water color. Diane Adams has been a marvelous influence and instructor !! See you later ...off to life drawing group @ the Encinitas Library

Well...I'm still painting and continually searching for new topics. I found these cliff swallows while camping along the coast. I've only painted one other "bird"in acrylic. I want to try this topic in watercolor.. Starting a new class tomorrow so.......time to concentrate.

Been busy around here,tending to the "wine trees" (aka.grape vines ),family and traveling to Buffalo,NY.

I'll keep a better update....promise !!

Happy days,happy painting !
