Jade, Wayne, Grapes and Hermes - thanks so much for helping me feel like these scraps have potential! I’m trying to get my nerve up to paint on some larger cradled panels and it would be nice to have some sort of general plan. Bongo, maybe “Not Cloud Nine” should be the title. It’s so...

You've been busy, Jade! I like how you kept the pencil strokes in the natural direction that the fur grows on this cute dog!

Nice one, Bongo. I love the red shirt against the blue window reflection. You get some great candid references from your street photos!

For lack of a better name. Just a little 6x6 oil and cold wax that I managed to keep abstract for a change. I'm trying to figure out what works for me and I think a very limited palette is key. As much as I love lots of different colors in other people's work I can't seem to pull it off...

Beautiful owl! The way you shaded his yellow eye adds so much and I like the looseness of his feathers. Your work is always impressive, Joy.

Gorgeous plein air, Grapes! You really made the most of that beautiful location. I like how there are a few glimpses of the underpainting showing through, especially in the sky. My husband and I have watched a few Finnish TV series and we’ve learned to say kiitos and miksi. It’s not a big...

The reds have more depth and subtle variations on my screen now, Hermes. Could you adjust every single thing I’ve ever posted please? Just kidding but it’s an ongoing frustration!

Awesome bees! The dog is very well done too, Jade.

Wow! I can understand why this one has been spoken for already! I’m glad you’re feeling better, Hermes, and it’s always nice when the urge to create returns; you feel like you again. There’s a lot of wild abandon in the black splashes and the red glazes are so rich and deep. Keep...

Bongo, will you be displaying these videos in some kind of art/photography venue when you finish the series? They are so good and I hope you have plans to exhibit them somehow.

You do such beautiful work! It must take a lot of skill to leave those loose washes alone because I always mess with them and wreck them.

I love the hazy blue distance. Such a nice painting!

Thanks Sandra. I feel a little sorry for those who only see an onion and not all the interesting light effects. Hi Joy - Thanks for the nice comment. I had to tell my husband that the onion was off limits until it was finished being a model. I am eyeing a sweet potato that is getting a...

You got the looseness you wanted on the second one and the first one is a beauty!

I see you’re doing some nice layering with the pencils. I’m glad you found some good tutorials!
