SOFT FLORAL

8"x10" oil painting still life on canvas
I have revamped my studio, more light, enabling me to set up still life more easily. This is a painting just finished , very loose,  in the tonalist method of muted values.  Had my spotlight to the right of my little garden arrangement which I hardly ever do. It was a fun exercise!

DOODELING

4"x 3" water color crayons on Bristol paper. What fun!

I went to my daughter Heather's for several days last week and painted in her beautiful gallery studio www.Heatherroddyartgallery.com. I didn't want to do a large oil and really wanted to just play. I bought some water color crayons at the art store and brushes and just had fun sketching.

Have you tried them? I sketch my paintings in crayon on paper and use those sketches as a guide. Well, to have them be water color with a few swipes of your brush is delicious! I have to get back to work next week but just wanted to put a few of these fun doodles up to share.
