The Painting Bug: November 2007
http://jaynebpastels.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2007. Another homework assignment: paint something white without using the color white. While on my morning walk with friends Mary Lou and Barbara, I pass this weathered lion at the end of a driveway. I liked the way he and the one remaining rose of summer both endure. Monday, November 26, 2007. Labels: I think Ill paint a little. Monday, November 19, 2007. Saturday, November 17, 2007. Friday, November 16, 2007. This is my first effort in completing the assignment to use middle valu...

The Painting Bug: March 2008
http://jaynebpastels.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2008. I've always loved this photo of my great-nieces and drew it once before in pencil. Today I decided to complete it in pastels. This is my first attempt at painting figures. Sunday, March 16, 2008. This one was a learning curve. This close-up of a yucca is on velour matboard. I wasn't very successful in achieving straight lines as a result of the surface nap; I think it would have worked better on Wallis and will probably try it soon, as I like the photo. Oh, well. Most of my fri...

The Painting Bug: December 2007
http://jaynebpastels.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 30, 2007. With Apologies to Monet. Wednesday, December 26, 2007. And the homework resumes, now that Christmas has passed. I took this photo on a trip to North Georgia with my dear friend Holly. It was a natural choice for the homework assignment to paint rocks. Friday, December 21, 2007. Wednesday, December 19, 2007. Not a great photo, but Spotty and Dotty are now framed and ready to go to their new home. I'm pleased with the final result and hope my friend will like them. I always look ...

The Painting Bug: February 2008
http://jaynebpastels.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2008. A different kind of art. Holly and I just participated in a wonderful 2-day collage workshop with Paula Van Huss, a wonderful artist in both watercolor and art collage. We played with paint and papers like pre-schoolers, having so much fun and learning lots of new techniques. The only element missing was our VIP partner, Karen! Wednesday, February 13, 2008. I plan to repaint them again in the future and try to use a looser approach. Wednesday, February 6, 2008. Yesterday I d...

The Painting Bug: Street scene and Peony
http://jaynebpastels.blogspot.com/2008/06/street-scene-and-peony.html
Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Street scene and Peony. It's been a while since I've posted. I've been preoccupied with painting my deck - not as much fun as art, but necessary. Now I hope to get back to the fun painting. Our class has recently focused on painting street scenes; since this is not a topic I normally paint, I had to make some photos. This one is from downtown Canton, Ga. It looks crooked in the post, but that's a result of the photography, not the painting! This one was a real learning experience.

The Painting Bug: Best Friends
http://jaynebpastels.blogspot.com/2008/03/best-friends.html
Wednesday, March 19, 2008. I've always loved this photo of my great-nieces and drew it once before in pencil. Today I decided to complete it in pastels. This is my first attempt at painting figures. I love your painting. You have really captured a wonderful moment in time, and it loks like you've been painting people for years. This is so good. March 19, 2008 at 5:21 PM.

The Painting Bug: June 2008
http://jaynebpastels.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. I started this second painting from a photo taken in Canton, Ga a few weeks ago. Our class focus last session was on buildings, town scenes, etc. They require a lot of preciseness, perhaps more than I'm willing to give! It's a great exercise and learning experience, but I'm ready to focus on some other things for a while. Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Street scene and Peony. This one was a real learning experience.
