with all of the teabag paintings and monthly 

challenges, i have all but neglected painting

larger sized paintings.   i found this piece

lying on a magazine.  it did not feel finished

at this point

collage was added to the background, 

acrylic paint to the dress, face and hair 

and a little pastel added to her face.  

i will call her done for now.

here are a few photos from the art studios at the 

santa monica art walk held at the airport.  i visited 

once before and liked the light airy space and high 

industrial ceilings.
