Last Jeanne class (for a while)

I got these flowers from a lady at church on Sunday and they were almost dead by Monday. It's amazing how the act of painting them can bring them to life :-)

Framed it and gave it away...

Linda Lemmon wanted this, so I matted and framed it simply - gave it to her as thanks for hosting Louise and me last week.

More "wildflowers"

Here's another of some roadside flowers.

Progress, but not done...

Some progress on this one...

Working on this

I've really had trouble getting motivated lately, so I figured if I post this portrait in progress - it might shame me into finishing it :-) I've had difficulty with parts of it and have had to lift out paint and repaint...frustrating.

Jeanne's class 7/1/13

This is a larger piece that I did in class this week. I stopped along the road on the way to the Art Center and picked some wild daylilies. My aim was to show the movement of the flowers as they normally grow - reaching toward the sun.

Sketchbook

Here a few paintings from a sketchbook I started. The first one was a quick sketch from a friend's photo. The second was from a scene in Jeanne's class. The third was from a weird angle (underneath) of a lavender drying rack (Jeanne's class). These are actually pretty small (9" x 6")
