Ai, Joan, Robin, Ned, Vivien, JoC, Fletch, Ned, Jade, joe1lt — Thanks for your kind comments and encouraging words
It means more than you can know
Joan — It was great to see the artists working on their projects…so focused… and then see the finished pieces. They are all amazing and fun, and made me smile
No wonder they were a big hit
Will you guys be doing that again next year ?
?
? Yours is very special with its quality, and details, and gorgeous teals and shading in blue, WOW!!!
Very cool NYC sketches - I got an amazing feel of their scope from the way you sketched each. I hope your back continues to improve
Face painting!!!
and beautiful steeple nestled in among the trees - and another impossible continuous line, wow, three in one, and beautiful colors added as well
Love the blue awning sketch as well, cosy
Your beach scene is superb, with the fencing, so real, giving way, and the summer heat still strong, birds still high in a white and blue autumn sky, over the white-cap waves, looking for shore….. the seasons change, and you always bring us those transistions with such fidelity and joy…..
Adding what you said about humidity when we work in our mobile studios, to what
JoC explained, and it all adds up
Great sketches of
Hector, what a guy!!! And you’re making those neocolors look easy, even with those colorful and complicated clothes
I’m looking forward to seeing what you create on your trip, but I know you’ll be busy, so no worries if you can’t post
Ned — I apologize, because I had to laugh about your cherry picker story, but it’s so true
Oh dear, that plant looks familiar. You’ve drawn and painted it beautifully. Looks so cheerful and welcoming
I think I walked right by some (and possibly right *through* some) the day before you posted this
But I seem to be alive, so no worries lol
Super transparency and 3Dness on your butter dish.
At first glance, I thought your oyster gizmo was perhaps an ancient African carving of some kind - at this point I have no real idea what it actually is, but I love the way you painted it, and the gaffelbiter is gorgeous.
Great vibe from the baseball diamond - Can feel the heat of the sun, the gravel underfoot, hear the folks on the sidelines… fantastic sketch that evokes so much more
Wow, your sneaker is fantastic, and the more I see of your painted sketches, the more enamored I am of your sense of color. Ditto on your graceful sketch of garlic
Jade — Your tender sketch of the soft little “pinto” kitten tugs at my heart
Her eyes are amazing… not sure why you might have re-done them ???
You are such a kind person - doing cards and crochet for people - your strawberries made my day - lovely and made of kindness
and here’s another cat, wearing clothes and jewelry proudly
Your human faces are very special, capturing the inner mood as well as the outer shapes.
Vivien — I keep coming back to your lovely foods. You’re so talented. I can’t pick a fav….. I’ve been studying them all, including your superb shadows. A lot of times, I get discouraged with shadows, and leave them out completely. Your shading of color and shadow is superb. To me, these all look like they should be in frames
I hope your weather is behaving better by now ??? Sorry about your daffs
Ai - Oh my, your zebra and giraffe walkie talkies are too adorable for words !!! I LOVE them
Super colors and depth and ellipses with the bottles. Fun sketchbook and textbook. The book reminds me what a multi-talented person you are. The tram models are amazing, and your sketch is superb
Thanks for telling us about them
Fletch — Zowie!!! What a nice candle - love the color and shading, and “heft”
You haven’t lost a thing, and the depth you achieve in your graphite sketches has followed you here to this candle
I’m with
you and
JoC - I’ve been disappointed with
Strathmore paper in the past
I will have to check out
Michelangelo’s sketches - I have loved da Vinci’s all my life, and can never see them often enough. But Michelangelo has escaped me. I also need to look up
Australian Dream and back exercises
JoC — Good sketches of footwear - lots of difficult angles, and lots of cool shoes
I hope your great grand has fun learning about Dino
Super quality and composition at Gene’s PT, and excellent bottle ellipses. I love your pastel, as well as your Photoshop edit - beautiful, lovely work and as always, I love the background too - wonderful
joe1lt — There’s
Donald !!!
Hi
Donald Love your sketches - such easy, happy lines, no matter how difficult the angles
super sketches
Robin — Love your sketches - space to walk around, and sit, and enjoy - fun sketches
Enjaw — Welcome
I know it takes a long time to go through all the posts and say something about each of them. Your words are always so special.
