Illusions Body and Paint

‘Winter thaw on the parkway’ 11x14 acrylic on panel.
There’s a lot of chaos in nature. I will keep trying to simplify. What to keep in and take out of the composition is a thing…
It was a grey day in winter.

I didn’t get to serve on jury duty, but I did get to sketch my dog! 11x14 charcoal and ink on paper

Practicing brush stokes and building confidence🤨

Besswax ornies and candles are stocked in the case! Massage/lotion bars, hand and face balm and holiday flavored lip balm is here too😃

3x5 Charcoal. Make a maker on the paper and see what happens.

Someone is dressed for the holidays. Charcoal

Here’s Rydr. He’s naughty and bossy, so for punishment, I painted him. Take that, rydr!! Oil on 5x5 panel

9x12 oil on panel. This was a warty session for me. The instructor made it look so easy. That’s the hard thing. It’s why we quit. The piece might not have been a mess if I’d have finished it😒

Oil on 9x12 canvas panel. Even with confused shadow and light, I like it. When the thing dries(oil takes forever) I will glaze in a shadow on the left. Painting is fun and hard❤️

Autumn chroma for sure! I’m loving the hikes. 12x16 oil on stretched canvas
