A FEW ODDS AND ENDS IN WHICH I AM WORKING ...

No, I have not escaped to another planet, though with the way this one is heading, I am sorely tempted.

However, I am still drawing and painting and teaching a delightful watercolour class.

Meet Archie. He belongs to my kinesiologist who is helping me recuperate after hip replacement surgery. [Still doing well - even rode Bruno on Monday!!!] With Archie, I think I will do a bit more shadowing, then decide on format and background colours.

This is Archie's best friend, Brody. He also needs more shading ... then onto painting.

Quickie sketch for Thursday's class. The ladies wanted trees, rocky shore and colourful sky. 

This was all done wet-in-wet.

I also surprised myself, drawing and painting this image of Howe Sound ... in under 10 minutes!!! I am a notoriously slow and fussy painter, and I must admit I was quite pleased with how this turned out. The water has a bit too much pink, but other than that, I am happy.

And I am still plodding along with 2 poured watercolours. This is my model - Griswold, the Gargoyle. One of my riding buddies gave him to me years ago. I have a feeling it may be a reflection of how she saw me most of the time!

That's it for now. I have the two dog portraits to get finished, and another of my niece's sweet and exuberant dog, Nina. She is the only dog that has been here that gets along with Bruno, and he accepts her. It's lovely to see them together.

Thank you so much for dropping by!
