  6"X 6" Derwent Wash Pencils Paper This was the first time that I have used my new Derwent Wash Pencils.  You draw as regular and use a wet paint brush with water to spread and diffuse the graphite as a wash.  I have a light, medium and dark pencil.  It was a great deal of fun!  The marigolds are the last from my garden and I put them in my Vaseline glass vase for display. 

  5"X 7" Oil Canvas Panel  $90.00 I loved painting this little painting...I have found that sometimes I like to work from photos that I have taken from my still life setups.  Things stay put!

  15"X 11" Graphite Drawing Paper     I used a great deal of line in this drawing.  I think if I had to do it over again I would have used a very fine line on the bouquet of roses.  I had a great deal of fun with this drawing.  I tried to render with line, the pattern of the cloth under and behind the bouquet.  I deepened the line in the pattern with heavy dark line.  This was a great exercise.

I fell behind in listing drawings in my 30 drawings in 30 days challenge.  I am caught up now.  Some of these drawings are older and ones that I especially like.

  6"X 6" Graphite on paper     Day 5....30 drawings in 30 days....She kept moving all over the place!  I love to draw my dogs probably because I am so familiar with their forms and shapes.  Now on to a painting today!

  6"x 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $100.00   This has be a real trial of patience and fortitude.  I am mentally exhausted.  It finally came around when I just said..." to heck with it"  ....then I relaxed and finally something happened.  What did I learn?  Well, I will really need to evaluate, but I think that going for big blocks of color fields helps.  Let it move from the brush...don't try to direct too much.

      I began a 30 drawings in in 30 days.  This is a 6"X 6" drawing on Raffine paper.
