Frida for Halloween!

I had so much fun doing this. I decided I'll wear flowers in my hair when I'm very old. It's empowering.

Painting for Terry

This is a very bad photo of a little 5 x 7 painting I did this weekend for my friend's birthday. I'm finding I can make a better sketch with my pen than I can with a pencil. But taking a pen to nice watercolor paper is a bit intimidating. I suppose I was pleased with this as a first attempt at painting glass.

Gibbs House-Pawley's Island

The house turned out okay for a first effort. I was happy with the shadows made by the awnings. I worked a long time on the drawing. It's only about 6 x 8 inches. The sky was extremely blue and I chickened out. Didn't want to "mess it up"! The foreground escaped me. I'm only just learning to abbreviate leaves and things. The live oaks there are so amazing. Dense and dark. And gnarly!
