The Next Sketch Is

Here's another quick sketch of Decamps ' The Cellist'-done while I was
actually painting The Cellist in W & N alkyd oils. This is the spare canvas that I try
out colour mixes , techniques etc on before using them on the actual painting.
Next - your choice.
Cheers,
Patricia

Well, some of my artwork of things I’ve treasured has been put away, and I can’t get to right now. And some things I still have to paint. But I found this sketch I did when I was about 28 years old at our first house. We were so thrilled just to have a yard, I hardly noticed the house! In fact, the first thing I did after moving all the furniture in, was go to the backyard and do grass angels and then just laid in the sun, eyes closed, taking it all in. I’d come off a farm at 14 and I never ever adjusted to living in town or cities and definitely not in student residence, or later…apartments. I missed the grass and the land around me.
I mentioned this as I was laying on my stomach drawing this on a very hot day in my backyard. This was a very cute garden statue almost 2 feet high. We both thought she was pretty cute. I didn’t have any paints with me and the tulips were up.
I think that was a little bit of oil pastel which I’ve never felt comfortable using, for hints of colour. I got interrupted and closed my sketchbook and that’s all there was to that. But it represents a very happy time in my life, a very exciting time. Our first little house. So grateful. Heaven!
Next one of your art pieces that either a good friend or a partner or family member has chosen as their favourite. But it’s not your favorite.

Thank you, Kay. I wasn’t too happy with those miniatures. They didn’t have enough life in them, although I followed them to the reference -the one little cat had an odd shaped face. But my goodness look at your dog. Look at the life in that painting! Very good!!

Vent: A lot of the time when I check in on this thread, it ends up being a subject matter I don't/won't have. :( Waa, waa, waa.
