Open Tulips

Friday, July 16, 2010

These are some tulips that I painted recently from a photo I took back in March. I haven’t painted flowers in ages and I sort of missed it. Plus it has been so hot these days that I haven’t even been going outside to sketch. Organizing has been a big theme of mine this year. […]

The Solitude of Prime Numbers

Friday, July 2, 2010

It has been some time since I have been able to read and enjoy a book sufficiently enough to actually finish it. I have been getting bored and easily distracted when reading books, and have often stopped midway through. I decided to give it another shot though, because I wanted to read a book while […]

Recent Workshops, Part Two

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

This is the second part to this post, where I write about two separate one day (10 am – 4 pm) workshops I recently took. This workshop was on the subject of Matting and Framing. I learned a lot of valuable info, even though I would have liked some things about the class to be a […]

Inconvenient Interruptions

Friday, June 25, 2010

I was planning on going to my last painting class today and spending the rest of the day outside sketching. Unfortunately, my appendix had other plans.

Stacks

Monday, June 21, 2010

This sketchbook page gives you some clues to a subject besides art that interests me quite a bit. (Hint: I take my nutrition seriously.) I got a lot done yesterday, both on the art front and the chore front. You will see the fruits of my labor later on this week. Have a nice Monday […]

Recent Workshops, Part One

Sunday, June 20, 2010

I have a lot going on in my life right now, but I am pleased that I had a chance to take some art classes this year. I’ve already told you about the acrylic painting class that I’m taking, but I also signed up for a couple of Saturday workshops. Last week I took a […]

Developments

Friday, June 18, 2010

I barely turned on my computer all week, and I haven’t been doing much drawing because of the art classes that I’ve been taking. I know that I am making an investment in myself though, and already I feel that my knowledge has increased. Plus, I have been spending some time on the water, which has […]

The Point

Saturday, June 12, 2010

Today I have something a little different for you — some Saturday morning cartoons, so to speak. These are clips from the movie The Point!, which was written by Harry Nilsson and narrated by Ringo Starr (other versions had different narrators). When I was a kid, my Yiayia recorded this movie from TV but the tape […]

Monsoon

Thursday, June 10, 2010

It was pouring rain when I drew this (from a window). It was getting into the evening and the light was dimming, when all of the sudden the rain stopped and the sun came out. Everything turned a sort of golden color for about five minutes, then it promptly started pouring again. It reminded me […]

Seashells, interior and exterior

Sunday, May 23, 2010

I put off posting earlier this week, not because I had nothing to say, but because I had so much other stuff going on. On Friday I had my first acrylic painting class (which I will write a separate post on). I have also been doing lots of other painting and drawing.  Partly because I had […]
