2011 diary...

I have done two pages for this 2011 Diary. Feb. 24 and Oct. 3 (well, because it's my birthday). Order some for Great Xmas gifts!!
To see the other one, you'll have to order the book...

sketchbook project

My mom's friend Merle forwarded this project to me. Looks like great fun. I have chosen "Secret Codes". Jumping up and down for my book to arrive.

well, here is another painting finished. for now. i submitted it to about.com's monthly forum. 

From the Artist: On this chair so many angles were fantastic -- I felt that the composition was key. I was trying to give this chair a new perspective. Everyone can see the chair, but how many people really look at a chair? The shadow shape was also pretty great. Overall, I am pretty happy with this painting. It makes me want to paint more chairs.

From the Painting Guide: It's a fabulous composition, which makes the ordinary into something intriguing and extraordinary. Gloriously "complicated" colors too, with depth and subtle shifts.
