Gray Cat Studio: June 2009
http://graycatstudio.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2009. It has rained 19 of the last 24 days in Massachusetts. Right now it is just gray, endless gray. We are expecting to see the sun on Thursday, thank goodness. However, Im not holding my breath. Last Saturday, I took an encaustic class from Tracy Spadafora. In Somerville. It was super and I learned a lot for just one day. I have one piece that is almost done, which I will post when it is complete. Visit her site, her work is really beautiful. Monday, June 22, 2009. I just bought...

A Little Me, A Little Hue: A Fruitful Bounty
http://alittlemealittlehue.blogspot.com/2012/03/fruitful-bounty.html
Okay, so it's only one orange and one banana. But still, along with the apple I sketched a few weeks back, it feels like a fruitful bounty to me. My watercolors are definitely getting a workout! First up, a bit of citrus:. Photo reference courtesy of RainySea on Wetcanvas. Next we have a.um.hmmm. You know, I'm not sure what family a banana belongs to! Regardless, here's the banana:. I love the Chiquita stickers! And just for fun, some process photos for the orange sketch:. First pass at it.

A Little Me, A Little Hue: Yes...SPRING is coming!
http://alittlemealittlehue.blogspot.com/2012/03/yesspring-is-coming.html
I love all this warm weather. It makes me eager to be outside, dragging my paints around and capturing whatever is out there. Before all that though, I was contenting myself with painting from photos. This one was courtesy of looseart2011 on flickr who kindly allowed me to paint from her gorgeous photo. Geeky little caption, any guesses where this is from? I had to test out some violets for this painting first. Found some favorites. March 16, 2012 at 7:31 AM. July 21, 2014 at 4:07 AM.

A Little Me, A Little Hue: How Did They Multiply Like This?
http://alittlemealittlehue.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-did-they-multiply-like-this.html
How Did They Multiply Like This? It seemed like an innocent little project at first. I wanted to gather up all the journals, sketchbooks and notebooks that I have in progress. Mentally I calculated how many there would be. "Eight," my brain said confidently. Fine, eight. I can handle that! And wouldn't it be nice to snap some photos of my eight current journals? Commence gathering them up. Realize a short while later that you have MORE than eight. Quite a bit more than eight. How did that happen? 3 Tocca...

A Little Me, A Little Hue: Still Here, Sketching
http://alittlemealittlehue.blogspot.com/2011/07/still-here-sketching.html
Still Here, Sketching. Moleskine sketch of a spoon on a napkin. Also, despite the fact that most of the time the washes don't bleed through on regular Moleskine paper, I sometimes get carried away with my washes. See how it bled through to the other side? July 9, 2011 at 6:31 PM. Love the napkin fold! BTW i hate shots too! August 1, 2011 at 8:56 AM. I hate shots too. September 2, 2011 at 2:15 AM. Checking in to say hi and see how you are doing!

A Little Me, A Little Hue: Working SMALL
http://alittlemealittlehue.blogspot.com/2012/03/working-small.html
I have long been fascinated with all things tiny. I used to collect 1/12th scale miniatures and built structures to house them. Painting in miniature was something I had long admired. It was another challenge I wanted to tackle "eventually". I thought I'd never have the patience. Well, yesterday I was itching to paint something and found a reference photo by madmum on WetCanvas. So I dove in. Tiny trees equal SO. MANY. TINY. BRUSHSTROKES. Watercolor, 3 1/2" X 2 1/2". You know what though? Go Back In Time.

A Little Me, A Little Hue: Under Pressure
http://alittlemealittlehue.blogspot.com/2012/03/under-pressure.html
Time is ticking away and I need to get this colored pencil piece done in time for a show! It's slow going and lately my shoulders have been giving me problems. When I do work on it, it's always so enjoyable. I just listen to music, sharpen my pencils and go.go.go. Four petals colored in.still a long way to go. And just for the fun of it, here are some older in-process photos:. Mostly just the grisaille done. I know, it's odd, I shouldn't have started on the bottom right petal. March 24, 2012 at 3:59 AM.
