ATC Cards

We made Artist Trading Cards in collage class to exchange. I cut up a sheet that I had used to demo gestural writing with a folded pen and coke pen. Then used a plastic stencil to emboss the letters.

Silver Syrup Pitcher

I added the little syrup pitcher that was my Mom's growing up. Has the nonogram M on the front-it's very tarnished, but I thought the color went well in the painting. Two views in different lighting.

Working on New Painting

Trying some new techniques, but funny how it really turns out to be "your" own usual style

But the texture in the pitcher has crawl backs that I don't mind this time -usually avoid that- but I wanted more texture. Have to brighten up the blue vase.

Beautiful Sky

These were taken from my back door. The contrast of the black tree branches and blue sky was beautiful.

Old Pen and Inks

In organizing, which is ongoing lately, I found these pen and ink drawings from ?college days.

Everett's hat

Love this hat!! He's about two months old here and sooo cute!

Coyote at the Center!

In class today Keith was at the window and said "is that a fox or a dog?" It was the largest Coyote I'd ever seen right up near the log cabin classroom! He was fluffy and had white mixed with the brownish coat. Of course as soon as I found my camera he was leaving-this is the best shot I could get!
