Phase One

This is the underpainting of a new work, the view from our back porch. As I work on it I'll post various stages.

A friend asked to see some of my favorite paintings. These date from my earliest work. From time to time I'll put more up (when I have nothing new to say or show).

Bowl of Eggs

Continuing the tradition of the offbeat still life, Kirk presented us with this bowl of eggs for our last two studio meetings. Of course the eggs got mixed up between classes, so we were sort of flying blind last night. The painting measures 16x20.

Purple Orchids

I completed this little painting last night. It utilizes a wrap-around canvas and is painted on the sides so it does not require a frame. It is 10 inches square.

Translation, please.

Gregg's Dad Mike bought this little carved box in Algeria during World War II. We would love to know what the inscription on the cover says. If any of my readers reads or knows some one who reads Arabic, please let us know.

Latest from drawing class

The theme of last weeks class was "body parts" I did not choose the parts.

A quick sketch

I only had twenty minutes to do this drawing. It came out better than one I worked on for an hour. Go figure.

More hands

Another go in class at drawing hands.

Interesting Faces

It is more enjoyable to draw a face with "character", rather than a pretty one
