Road through the Meadow

Thursday, March 29, 2012

Here is my finished colored pencil piece. I used Derwent Coloursofts and some Prismacolors. I did this for the Virtual Paintout (St Petersburg) so I’m glad I finished it before the end of the month! I ended up cropping some of the bottom off, which makes it an odd size, but I think it improves […]

Tuesday, March 27, 2012

I spent another few hours on my landscape, this time concentrating on the sky. The sky is the most dramatic part of this picture, and I want to finish it up before moving onto the rest of it.

“right now” staying focused on the present, mindful and in the moment, an image from the week, with no words or a few words, that acknowledges the “right now.” Inspired by Ann.

Experimenting with Colored Paper

Saturday, March 17, 2012

This morning I took out some colored paper and did a little sketching with my Derwent Coloursofts. It’s kind of fun to work on the colored paper and I think I will try out more of this in the future. (This photo was taken in dim lighting, so the colors aren’t very accurate.) Colored pencils […]

European Stream

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my personality and how I am nothing like the stereotypical “artist personality.” I took a Myers-Briggs test and I came back as ISTJ (introvert, sensing, thinking, judging). I am very serious and organized. I am ultra-dependable. I see things in black and white and I have a need […]

I’m not partaking in Pinterest.

Tuesday, February 28, 2012

I had a Pinterest account, and pinned things to it here and there, but I was never a heavy user. I recently decided to delete my account altogether though, as well as add the no pin meta tag to my site and disable pinning on flickr. I have been seeing countless articles online about how […]

Elba Mountainside

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

Another small painting from Google Street View in Elba, this time experimenting with my new Derwent Coloursoft colored pencils. I like the soft feel of these pencils and they come in a lot of natural looking colors, but I have trouble distinguishing different colors from one another. I tend to draw with a ton of […]

March will be an exciting month.

Monday, February 20, 2012

Things I’m excited about: The Flower and Patio Show is coming up (March 2-4) I signed up for a two part Botanical Illustration class at the Mass Audubon society. It’s really inexpensive and I’m looking forward to getting out of the house by myself for a bit. I got started on a particular painting that […]
