a few more sessions left to go 

in my ongoing painting workshop,

online collage workshop and beginning oil painting.

i am looking forward to cooking thanksgiving dinner

for my family and friends and have put off a lot of experimenting

  1. This is a really interesting piece. I'm intrigued by what inspired it. I'm also very jealous of your southern californian weather. Here in the far north of Scotland winter has definitely arrived. Mind you we don't get high 80s even in the summer!

  2. The collage made from a previous work is so much fun and so unusual, with the added line drawing, thank you so much for your last reply, i found it so interesting to find out about your process in choosing faces to paint.

  3. So interesting to see the face twice over. Love the horned creature piece with my favourite yellow. Great success. You have obviously done some neat work on the latest course - would like to see more...

  14. This is really interesting work. I don't do that many collages, I think I don't have the "feel" for it. Yours, however, are something special. Good luck with the oil painting.
