July Art Workshop

This value study is done with watercolor paint on Yupo paper. I have done three versions of this in color. Maybe when they have brewed in my brain for awhile I will post those as well. This was done at a watercolor workshop taught by Janet Flom, Moorhead, MN. We concentrated on big ideas like "concept." It was an excellent workshop.

Whole Note Round-Up

Although I like the photo of the previous version of this painting, it was lacking some focus. I like the added "staff" lines and now it feels right. The staff is trying to capture all the floating bubble whole notes!

The creative wheels have begun to turn. Feels so good.
This is acrylic on watercolor paper.

Getting off the hamster wheel

Today is the first day of summer vacation. I plan to do all the normal chores, plus shop at Target for some organizing bins for school. Just can't quit thinking about school!! I am also going to go through my art supplies and order some fun stuff for my own art.
I have committed to having an exhibition at Dickinson State University Art Gallery next January. I am so excited! Got to get painting and direct all that prodding that I do to my students towards myself.
