On the Fence Revisited

I decided I didn't like the blue so I changed "On the Fence".

On The Fence

"On The Fence"- 6"x6"-Acrylic and charcoal on canvas board

More experimenting.  This one is acrylic and charcoal on a canvas board.  I'm taking a class next week in mixed media and incorporating more drawing media, so I thought it would be fun to practice on my own before hand.  I mixed a little clear gesso into my background colour to provide a little bit more tooth for the charcoal and it worked quite well.

This was also Latvia inspired. Here is the virtual paintout link.

Hideaway

"Hideaway" - 6"x6"-acrylic- palette knife

Another Latvia-inspired painting and attempt at palette-knife painting. Here is the link to my inspiration url.

Green Door

I decided to do this month's virtual paintout and thought it would be fun to try a pallette knife painting.

Here is the link to my source of inspiration:  Google maps link

A few new paintings

I've been painting quite a bit with my new studio and teaching a few classes.  Here is one of my latest and I really like it. 

As of today ski racing season is over which means a lot more free time on weekends, woo hoo.

New Studio!

Very exciting news!  I just got the keys to my new studio space last week.  It needs some paint and a bit more cleanup but it has tons of potential.  There are multiple sinks, storage and even a dryer vent that I can use to vent my encaustic setup.  It's big enough for workshops which I'm currently planning out, so stay tuned. I'll post some pictures in the next few days too.
