| A curious little lunch companion in Nevis on a "blue sky day" this past February. |
My return to fine art; telling the stories of every day life. Painting people and the places they touch.

This is the progression of my painting; Sydney in Central Park. (Yes she is adorable and one of five of our beautiful grandchildren). After a rough sketch, I laid in complementary colors to give depth to the final painting. I then washed them leaving drips here and there. Then I began layering the pastel to get my final work. The nice thing about the wash is that when you scrub off the layered pastel, the washed in complimentary colors are set and allow you to let them shine through or reapply over them.

| Judith Carducci...I've never seen anyone love the process of creating like Judy does. She is a delightful person. |
 |
| 1st workshop in 8 years. Trying not to shake! |

| Judy spent her lunch breaks with us answering personal questions and telling some great stories. Thank you Judy. |
 My rendition of Kathryn |
| We had three days of morning demonstrations from Judy and three afternoons of painting from life. We had wonderful models. Thank you to Amelia and Kathryn. Thank you to Susie Porges and her husband, gracious hosts and owners of the Art Studio. |
Past Work
These paintings were both done in 2005. On my journey I hope to restore some of my previous skill, though it seems my style may be a bit looser this time around. I also hope to gain confidence and ability from years of painting from life and plein air.
