Emma was great. She taught us about each of the materials we were using, what they were good for, tons of different ways to use them, lots of different drawing skills/techniques. I'm really happy with how it went and excited to keep playing with the things she taught us.

Farris (AKA the Twinkie with Legs) was one of the "dogs of my life." My daughter always wanted a corgi, and worked to save up the money to get her. And, of course, when my daughter went off to college, Farris became mine.

As I learn and grow in my work, I follow sparks of interest and inspiration. For this, I was enthralled with the work of Polina Bright. I love her use of emotion, color, light, and geometric shapes, so I used these elements as well.

The gorgeous Colibri! She is visually stunning and an audible treasure. Also called a ?Violetear? hummingbird, they are found in Mexico, Central America and Western South America. What a songbird! Their song is loud and long lasting and often contains double notes! I created this pastel painting to enjoy the beauty. This is based on a free reference photo by Sebascordero on WordPress Directory.

Title or Location: Poppies
I approach my art, by not limiting myself to any one style or medium. It is important to experiment and find what works best for me, both technically and creatively. I like to push my boundaries and experiment with varying styles and mediums. i got great enjoyment painting these poppies as it was something new for me. I rarely have used Gouche paint and painting flowers is was a new subject matter. I enjoyed it so much that I created a series of flower paintings.

Title or Location: Multnomah Falls
This is a 5x10 value practice using Multnomah Falls as subject. This is also the first time ever painting this iconic beauty. One can have a great subject, vibrant colors, and lots of details, but without proper values it's flat and un realistic if that's what your seeking.
