July 5, 2013 – Friday Group

Adrienne is back and started today on a picture of her grandson. Adorable.

Pat is putting in her crocus (is that what they are?) The ones in the back are fuzzy, those in the front are going to be sharp. Nice work!

Susie’s penstemon are getting some volume and definition. She says still work to do on the background. Needs to go back. We’ll get there. LOVE the color. Fabulous!

July 2, 2013 Tuesday Group

Shannon started a new painting of one of my rose pictures – the New Dawn climber on the side of the house, taken one rainy June a while ago. She took a Jeanne Vodden workshop last week. Beautiful start. Makes me want to paint it too!

And she is just about finished with this one of her son, Brendan.

Paula’s beautiful rose bouquet is coming along!

Libby getting started on a big gorgeous wine-y purple-y iris.

And just finishing this absolutely stunning iris triptych. It was so fun to watch this piece evolve.

Susie is back from a big family trip to Kauai and is picking up again on her beautiful bowl-full of roses.

Marilee painting some lovely little scene from France somewhere. I want to go there! Nice work in sending the background back today.

Holly is giving her fish a place to swim before painting it.

A Confession

In Art in Process, Saturday, Color and Special Classes, Weekly Watercolor Groups

I fell into the pit of getting waaaaayyyy behind in updating this online art journal. Once the second weekly group started, I didn’t keep it in my routine and it got harder and harder to get back on track. I swore that I wouldn’t do that – I’d keep it up. And I didn’t. My niece Amanda and I spent all day yesterday getting the images sized and uploaded and posting them.

As of right now I’m completely current – up to the class we had today. To all of you subscribers to the blog updates, I’m SO sorry for the inundation of emails. I didn’t realize you got one for EACH post! Holy Cow! I will endeavor to make sure the updates are kept up so that you can follow along on the progress.
