Falkner Winery Painting





This is an unfinished landscape oil painting I did this morning at the Temecula Wine Country.  It's my first Plein Air Painting (outdoor, on location).  [3 hour workshop with instructor Richard Stergulz]

New Canvas Murals for my kids' rooms

I worked on these while I was on vacation in Maple Falls, WA. (I had fun working with my friend Shelley in her new studio.) :-) Thanks for your help Shelley!

At [2:20], it shows me cleaning up the drawing.  Did you hear the announcement in the background? [2:09] It said, "You have 20 minutes to get your paintings done!" lol I just finished! ;-)

Practice run for Streetpainting

I just finished the first layer on the gown and the line adjustments for the face and arms.  (The right side I worked on yesterday got a little wet, too.)


Thursday, June 9, 2011

It rained again!

The left side got rained on.  It gets wet under the mats still.
Anyway, I worked on the right side and a little on the face (2nd layer).
The lips and ear needs to be tweaked.

Worked on the driveway art some more.

Drew some of the gown and arm, the hand needs more work but I don't want to fiddle with it yet.

My driveway got rained on last night!

It got wet under the mat I laid over the drawing and some of the pigment eroded.
The drawing is all spotty and the arm looks wonky!   I can't wait to work on it
but it will have to wait until Tuesday.

Here's what's left of it after I did one arm and the chest.
