experiementing again

Am attempting to do some more experiemental pieces.  I feel that I need to get more painterly.  Am looking for more growth possiblility..

Conroe Class, they are wonderful, want to make a permanent group to show together.

Conroe Figure Painters - slideshow dvd

Both paintings

Both of these paintings got honorable mentions over the weekend at the Conroe Art Show.  They have asked me to extend my classes another 5 weeks and I have agreed to do so. 

My latest project

Lately I have gotten myself into some really not fun things.

I am a member of the &eight artists, which consists of 8 artists that show at Hubbel and Hundson, a high end grocery and food store.  Our project consists of all 8 of us doing 2 parts of a huge painting, these are 18 x 18".  Am so glad to have these done.  This piece will then be auctioned off and donated to a good cause.  I don't do well when I have assignments.  I prefer to stay on taask with my own work..   Sooooooooooooo, they're done.  Need to check the skin tones on the small one, don't think they're that pink.  Am going this afternoon to purchase another camera.  I have fought this old one long enough. 

A reminder: am doing a workshop at The Watercolor Society October 5,6 and 7. Anyone interested please let me know. Only 3 people have signed up, so might end up cancelling it.

for class

Finished this one for my class in Conroe tomorrow, I am really having a rough time with the old camera, picture quality is so bad.  Looks like I need to spring for a new one.

Have been working with gold

I dropped my good camera, am filling in with my old old one.  Picture quality is not as good, but haven't had time to shop.
