A few more 50 x 50. Still more to do but nearly there.

Two quick 50 x 50 today. I like to call the first one Saint Theresa in ecstasy.

Followed by Bernini's Ecstasy of St. Theresa.

After a great visit to the open Studio at 1890 Bryant I came home and wanted to a spend a day just drawing: Finishing a few more of my 50 x 50's and getting out with my sketch book. Both of which I did.
For the 50 x 50's I worked in sepia ink with sepia washes while sitting outside under an umbrella on my patio. All the while blasting my neighbours with old rock and new rock.
The pencil sketches I did in Lafayette park. A good place to figure sketch on a sunny day.
I felt blessed all day to have, not only to the luxury of time but the space and the park to sketch in; the weather helped a lot.

I'm back in my studio again after a summer of painting in a different fashion. The Kitchen is white again as is most of the dinning area, except for the one dark dark blue wall for excitement.

I'm also back in a figure drawing class with the Divine Diane Olivier, http://web.me.com/dianeolivier/site/Welcome.html.

One from my sketch book: A sleeping man by the pool. What else can one do on a rare hot day - sit by the pool with a good buddy and sketch














My great artist friend Catherine Mackey - http://catherinemackey.com - has just finished a project of 50 printings in 50 days, all of which are amazing. So five of my student friends and myself decided to do the same project. Using any paper and medium. Some of us are using 5" x 5" paper and some are doing 6" x 6". All to be finished by the end of October.

That said here is my first of 50. A fun piece to get my head back in an arty space.
