Color, Composition and Beyond - Day 2

 Progress from day 2 at Color Composition and Beyond with Al Staszesky at the Delaware Art Museum.

I am struggling with the blue bottle.  So worked to just get the area covered. 

End of the day's progress.  Cleaned up the blue bottle a bit.  Still needs work, but will concentrate on covering the whole canvas first.

Color, Composition and Beyond at the Delaware Art Museum

Started class with Al Staszesky at the Delaware Art Museum today.  
The class starts half an hour later than it used to.  So I thought it might be enough extra time so I felt I could get up in time.  Took about 2 hours to get there this morning, but by the time I get to the other side of New Jersey, school has started and by the time I get on I-95, most people have gotten to work.  
I chose this still life set up from the four Al had set up because of the colors and it looked like several options for composition. 

It has been a while since I have painted still lifes or in this style, tho I have tried to adapt it in my plein air painting. 

Looking forward to going back next week.

Google Scanimation to find some children's books with this neat technique.

Tile Coaster Holy Trinity LBI


Tile Coaster Holy Trinity LBI

Last spring, I had several members of my church draw some flowers in a sketch book.  I then colored and arranged them in photoshop.  Thought that they would look nice decorating this coaster tile.

Holy Trinity Cafepress Shop

Set up a shop for Holy Trinity on CafePress.    Currently just have one of the stained glass images uploaded.  This one is from the columbarium which was one of the better images from the website.  

Working on editing out the structural features of the huge ship window in the back of the sanctuary.

A Ferocious CowBear


Well, taking a cue from the Ferocious Bear, thought I would try a western themed bear.

Wave

I turned my camera to take this photo, thus the strange background.  It is done on a piece of wood, 8x36.  I nailed some whitewashed square moulding to the edges for a "frame".  Can be hung upside down.

Scruffy Must Dance

Saw this on TheBloggess.com and had to share.  The more I look at it the sillier it is.

Wagon Box Ranch, Dubois, WY -- iPad Plein Air

Decided to try some more plein air with my iPad.
We went to the Wagon Box Ranch in Dubois, WY during the Susan K Black workshop.  It was pretty cold that morning, so I settled in in behind a standing wagon to block the sun.  I used the Brushes application with a stylus.
