Process of Art

Art is a continuing process. For me there is always another way to learn how to work with a media whether it is oil, graphite, acrylic or pastel. New surfaces to work with and different mediums to make the things work differently sometimes smoother more refined sometimes with more brushstrokes or lines.

Winter Still Lifes

While Arkansas was shrouded in ice the first week of March I went to Scottsdale Artist School and attended a wonderful workshop with Sherrie McGraw, David Leffel and Jackie Kamin. Weather was mild and pleasant. We had the choice to work on still lifes or models. This workshop I chose to focus on building my still life skills. I felt very successful. All three of the instructors were encouraging and informative. Each pushed me to make changes and find the right movement for my brush. This is the first one I completed during my workshop.
