My hubby has taken me on some wonderful trips over the years.  Now, in my old age (HAHA), I'm painting from all those photographs I took.

The past few days I've been playing with my Elegant Writer.  It takes awhile to get the hang of it again.  I'm painting from photographs; this first one is from a cactus garden in Palm Springs.

Je Suis Le Cahier: The Sketchbooks of Picasso

 

Fabriano Sketchbook

Pan Pastel

Pencil Crayon and Ink Wash

 

I'm reading Je Suis Le Cahier: The Sketchbooks of Picasso.  Picasso is my favorite artist, and as he learned by sketching the masters, I thought I'd give it a whirl.  It might be a beginning of a deeper study...



Finishing Off Projects

 

Artist Trading Card

Gelli Print

 

I always have a basket of unfinished projects in my office/studio.  When I'm not inspired to do anything specific, I rummage through the basket and find something to finish.

Markers on Acrylic

 

Wonderful little mushrooms, all huddling together....to stay warm, perhaps?  It is starting to feel like winter out there!
