Tuesday, October 14, 2014. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.". 6" x 6" oil study for Lifting Fog.

Sorry Marilyn, but art supplies. One a...

Monday, November 24, 2014. A Mini Urban Sketching Workshop with James Richards. Urban sketching for this nature girl? Oh yes :) One of my goals is to add people into my sketches and I've been practicing for over a year now. When Kip Bradly at the Telfair Museum in Savannah, GA announced Jim was coming to town to give a three hour workshop, I jumped at the chance to study with him. A different view on each page from Johnson Square, Savannah, GA. I love the online art world :). Labels: Sketching with Pen.

Friday, May 30, 2014. More Sketching from Memory. A couple of evenings ago, we had a stellar evening.
