Joan - All three are great. Love how you show the clutter and mass of the fish table. The crowd in the second. The use of chiaroscuro in the third is great. Very dramatic. Ai - love your Red Bridge and the photo. #1 Lamp - Half a sheet I 9x12in sketchpad. This was suppose to be the third...

Jo - the leaf and the underleaf bother well rendered. Glad to hear Gene is doing well. Joe

Ned - Thanks for the new list. Jade - Adorable scary cats. Joan - Thanks for sharing Venice with us. (As an aside you did not count the lamp.) 😎

Jo - Problem I have with dentist nowadays is the pain when they give you the bill. The root canal and cap I had done a couple of weeks ago almost gave me a heart attack. The barn sketch is cool especially the cars! You always complain how hard they are to draw but you nail the SUV and the...

Joan - Love how well you handle people and proportion in you scenarios. Same goes for textures in the doorway. Excellent digital of the coffee station. #5 grocery bag - Experiment #2 trying to draw with tone. Used 9B woodless pencil and blender. Image is a little over 1/2 page in. 9x12 in...

Pine Cone - You brought back memories for me similar to Joan’s wearing the pods on our noses. Excellent job and the color experiments look like fun. Your list of caveats made me smile as I am trying hard to loosen up and it was last night I realized two things 1) fewer details which seems...

Jo - love the old car. Gene looks good. love the hats. Sounds like some kind of organized art event. Kewl. #3 Electric outlet - graphite 9B sketch. Image is 6x6 inches. Goal was trying to loosen up. Intent was there but habit took over LOL Keep sketching and learning.

Ai - A bakery school is a cool idea and the breads all look so good in both the photos a your paintings. Am with Joan I could eat my way thru those shelves. Robin - Love your artist jacket with lots of pockets. Clever association of newspaper with arm chair. I know we have an ice tray but...

Ai - was going to comment on leg drawing you had nice subject than saw your comment later. Fir some reason that painting looks almost like a studied piece. Nit sure what makes that impression. Thanks for sharing the Theo image. Ned - Xylem in a petrified tree/log would make a very abstract...

Joan - Thanks for wonderful views of Venice. Love how you did the water. Question: Your drawing board looks corrugated. How do you keep that from showing in your painting? #1armchair - recliner #2 bookshelf Experimented drawing freehand in ink with fountain pen. Got my angles screwed up...

Joan -Clever sub on hair for vines. Hair and whole vista beautifully done. Ai - Cp and watercolor seem a good mix. Well done red uncle! Love the wicker chair. The lady duck shading is well done. She looks like a good mare for Joe1’s Donald. Do we get a food report on coconut custard and...

Ned - Cool silhouette. Funny how you can look at something a dozen times even turning upside down but we have to post for some things to show. Your silhouette looks great and without the photo we would not have known some foliage was missing. Call it artistic license and move on as it is a...

Joan - love how you did the texture in ‘texture’. The way you imply so much detail in yet ornate window frames is great. Ai - fun association on the tourist boat. Well done. love your florals! 👍🏽 Jo - super digi! And with fingers earns extra props! Keep sketching and learning, Fletch

Pine Cone - trying to accept that was 9 years ago. LOL. A well done tribute to Mr Cooper. Never tried to photo a star trail but loved the sun trails Ned did with homemade pinhole cameras. Robin - Covered in RL I understand and art is a great escape. Love the curtain folds! Have you ever eaten...
