The Storyteller

Lifeguard

SOLD

It sure feels great to be back in my studio!  There is something so therapeutic about pushing paint around on a canvas, isn't there?  There was no real focus today for me.  Just a simple apple and finding joy in the process.

I hope your week is off to a wonderful beginning!

Fishin'

SOLD

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday weekend!  May God bless all of our veterans and their families.

This is one of my under-paintings from Fongwei Liu's workshop.  He generously shared his five value concept with us.  The five values are:  light, light mid-tone, core shadow, dark mid-tone and reflecting light.  I'm used to thinking in terms of light, mid-tone and dark, so this concept is a revelation to me.  

I hope you're all having a great week!

   

Home Again

Hi there!  I am home again and trying to get back into the swing of things.  Unpacking and laundry were at the top of my "To Do" list today.  Along with grocery shopping.  And of course, spoiling Mark and Rodeo a bit.  I sure missed my little family.  And all of you!

I haven't had a chance to photograph my workshop paintings, but I thought you might enjoy seeing our group.  So many talented artists!  And I just can't say enough GOOD things about Fongwei Liu.  He is an outstanding artist and an excellent teacher.  Very thoughtful and generous.  Be sure to check out his blog at the above link.  His workshop demos are amazing!

Many thanks to Fongwei.  And also to Qiang Huang, his lovely wife Song, and all of the wonderful ladies of the Anderson Mill Garden Museum.  It was a great workshop!

These little wildflowers are my entry for this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge.  The Yellow Challenge was posted by Abbey Ryan, and as always, there are so many wonderful entries.  If you haven't had a chance yet, head on over and check them out!

And most importantly, I want to send "Happy 7th Birthday" wishes to my sweet niece Hailey.  Markers the Cowboy and I love you very much!

Have a great day, everyone!
