i discovered that i never posted 

this  sampling of faces 

created for daily challenges.

i used paint, collage, encaustic, pencil, pastel, ink

and any combination of the above

i am in sketchbook skool, trying to come with 

beginner's mind and to leave the critic behind.

i did these one minute pen sketches.  

it was suggested in the klass 

that i add a bit of ink to a water pen so i am 

not overwhelmed with color choices.

these are the results.  i like it.

just a note that 

there is one more spot to receive 

a piece of art by me 

by paying it forward  here.

just thought i'd show you some of the sights i see.

this is a sky view of palos verdes where i live.

it is a community about 9 miles south of the los angeles airport.

these  photos were taken on a recent walk.

volunteer whale watchers counting the whales passing by

so fortunate to have san vicente lighthouse in the neighborhood.

i love lighthouses!

as always, i am posting along with friends at 
paint party friday.  please click on the site to 
see more art work done this week.
