It's the New Year and I'm trying to challenge and expand myself as an artist.  Hoping to grow in my work with people - portraits and figures.  Realizing that I really need to work on my drawing skills - in addition to alot of other stuff!  It seems that the more I learn, the more I realize that I need to learn.  The mountain grows instead of getting smaller.

Enjoying having my daughter home for a little bit before she goes back to Colorado. Wish she lived closer but happy for her to do what she needs to do in her own growth.  All the best!

Spent the morning doing the other thing I love-- painting people.  This is a sketch from a past session.  We have a "ladies" group and get together to share a model and paint for 3 hours.  It's wonderful.  No pressure of having a real client sitting there wondering what's taking so long!  Great opportunity to try new techniques and share ideas.  I've been using it as an opportunity to try Daniel Green's palette --- not only his colors but premixing lots of flesh tones. I'm excited about it but think I might adjust it some to my preferences.

Can you tell I love to paint!
