I've been experimenting with taking different aspects from a variety of photos and turning them into a drawing for a painting. These were the two I was happy with. Thanks for stopping by.<br />

Now a step away from the beach and my first attempt to draw a calf. The picture I took didn't turn out that great for whatever reason. I promise when I get some heat in my little studio I will be painting away. Right now it's only 37 degrees Fahrenheit in there!

Here is my first painting for the 30 in 30 day challenge. I am doing a 20 paintings in 30 days challenge with my painter friend in Minnesota but, I am also challenging myself to see if I can actually complete 30 paintings in 30 days. I hope that partially finished paintings that you finally complete count. I'm going to say they do!!! Thanks for stopping by.

Spent a fun day in Stephenville, Texas with my niece, her friend, and my sister. It was fun to hang out for a while. Still working on getting the studio space together in anticipation of beginning to paint. Hopefully, it will be ready soon. Thanks for stopping by. (This is one of the paintings I did of my niece. It is the only portrait I attempted that I actually ended up liking.)<br />

I really loved the photo I got of this young woman splashing through the water, shoes in her hand. A wonderful day for the beach. I still have work to do on the hand that I hope will resolve itself prior to painting. Thanks for stopping by. <br />

This young fellow almost got out of hand. The figure seemed to want to cover the entire canvas! He also had some interesting angles to his limbs that I had to work out. You wouldn't think this would happen, but, sometimes, it's difficult to figure out which way a line is going. If you have an issue with proportion and sometimes perspective I know right now you're saying, "No kidding!". Thanks for stopping by. <br />

I did a large painting of this photograph several years ago but, I wanted to try it again but on a smaller scale, 10"x8". I'm thinking of ways I can change it from the original painting by trying a different color palette.

I am so glad I'm a compulsive photographer when it comes to grabbing moments in time when I am at the beach. It is providing a lot of material to choose from for my paint-a-thon. When I'm sketching out a painting, I don't like to define facial features. I want to look at the way light and shadow hits the face when I'm painting it. Another beach scene and I thank you for stopping by.<br />

Another beach sketch emerged from my trusty No. 2 pencil. I don't know about anyone else but, sometimes, I find clothing maddening to draw: the folds, the way it falls, the way it catches the light....Maybe I should try a nude. Thanks for stopping by.<br />
