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.

A new beach scene I'm excited to paint.

 Another of my floaters.

I didn't like the way the original drawing turned out so, I gessoed over it and redid the drawing.

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! Thanks for stopping by!

Day 1

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. (I really don't know what to call this one.)

I loved the photo of my bonus niece so much I can't resist trying to paint it. I think this will be the last sketch in my beach series for now. On to painting!!! Thanks for stopping by.

Sorry its been a while since I posted. I was having a very difficult time getting into my blog and posting. This was a sketch I did after coming back from my mini vacation to South Padre Island. Thanks for stopping by.

Another of my inner tube beauties enjoying the beach. Thanks for stopping by.

I've taken quite a few pictures of my husband at the beach. I figured it was time to do a painting of him! Hopefully, in about 8 days we will be at the beach!!! Thanks for stopping by.
