Painted this little sketch this morning. 6″×6″, acrylic. Missing the ocean. New Mexico is nice but not enough water here…

This painting is 24″x36″, acrylic. About the largest size I’ve ever done. It was just juried into the Santa Fe Community College’s annual show of student work. The curtains I painted from real life. The rest is from my imagination. It was fun to do…

Scratboard, 4″x4″. Learning something new. I love this medium! Reminds me of being in kindergarten where we drew with colored crayons then covered in black crayon and scratched away. But for ‘adults’ there are so many inks available. First, I covered board with light wash of black scratchboard ink using small air brush. Then painted on chicken in orange, scratched away, added yellow and black with paint brush, then back and forth scratching and painting.  It’s fun!
