Judy's Husband John

Judy has taken several of my classes and has become a good friend. John kindly possed for us in one class. He was not expecting to enjoy it, but did and may pose with his bike another time.

Furrowed Valley

A little over a week ago an artist friend called with an offer to paint with her. We met in this Pennsylvania valley. The day was warmer than any day we've had this winter, heavenly. I had some 8" x 10" canvas boards I had made. Not being used to painting that small I took two, thinking I might do side by side panoramic panels. What I did were two of the same view. Panel 1 & Panel 2. The snow was nearly gone in the second.

Lezlie & Jeremy

In Friday's Life Drawing class we had two different models, Lezlie & Jeremy. I am so grateful to them for taking the time to come. They are very precious people. We only had an hour each and they did various short poses for us. Very natural.

Strawberries In Winter

This was one of the still life of four that I set up for the class yesterday. I did a quick oil sketch using paint they left on their pallets. I like the looseness of it. The classes were fun.

Sergio

We had a wonderful model in our drawing class today. His mother, Aida had to do some persuading to get him there, but he was a natural. He did very interesting poses and sat perfectly still. We were blessed.

Green Apples In Blue Bowl

I have been working on this all week, only because I was not satisfied with the tea towel. An earlier painting with a red striped tea towel was amazingly easy. I can say this tan towel is rendered more like a Van Gough. I will have to do many more with this tan towel in them, just to learn how to render it to my satisfaction.

Brenda in Robe

This is another from last week that I forgot to photograph. It may be the best of them all. We will do more tonight, or maybe just do self portraits.
