Meanwhile... over on YouTube... Cookies!




Here's video Number Two! 
This one is about 5 minutes, includes the drawing, the painting, and more harp music!! I'm very happy with the style of both videos however, next time I might add voice over and mix things up a bit. Meanwhile... Enjoy!

CHECK OUT THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF ME PAINTING THIS HERE!
I really had to stop myself from eating these cookies before I painted them. Needless to say, I gulped them down once the painting was done. Yum.

you gotta shake it

It's my 2 Year Blogging Anniversary!!  
I decided to paint very differently to celebrate. Here's an 18"x24" portrait, a size that I consider to be HUGE! What a blast.
Thank you all in the art blogging world for your inspiration and comments. They are much appreciated.
Happy Painting Everyone!

second time lucky

This week the DPW Challenge is to choose any 'Google Street View' and paint it. I typed in Paris, France and Google Maps put me at 4 Place de l'Hotel-de-Ville... so here it is.

portraits in charcoal


Two very different women, from very different times. I'm toning my sketchbook paper with willow charcoal then drawing with it and an eraser.

nuts



I recently told a fellow artist that I hate the colour yellow. He said, "Are you crazy? As an artist, you should never decide that you hate a colour... never."  This morning I looked at these bananas and thought, perhaps it's time to embrace yellow.
