2011 – Halleluhah at home on the dining table

Whoa, this is a big painting. Too big for the table in my studio. I painted the background some in Tahoe on the picnic table outside and some here at home. After this, I moved out to a folding table in the garage to finish it. It had taken over my life, and our house!

Hallelujah – just the drawing

It’s sort of hard to know what this is. I’m projecting the image on the paper – it’s 60×40. It’s actually hanging sideways, but I’ve rotated the image to see it better. Look carefully you can see the pencil drawing and the subtle color from the projector.
So grateful I have the easel at Light Rain for this big one. The magnets hold the paper in place.

On the hearth of our Tahoe rental cabin. Interior light gives it a nice warm glow.

2011 – Jellies get started
