Week #21 and #22 - posting will be delayed

I won't have access to my computer for a couple of weeks, so I'll have to delay posting anything for a bit.  I will still work on drawings - and maybe even come up with something quite different.... I'll have to see.

WEEK #20

I bought a new type of paper while I was in Regina, and I'm trying it out.  Sheesh.... its nice and gives a good effect actually (which might be hard to see in a photo), but good grief - this took me  about 12 hrs!  It is way too slow going!  That's about 3 times as long as I usually would take.

I'll try more drawings on that paper, but I'm going to either have to set aside more time, or else try a different technique.  

WEEK #19

Toots -  24x30

I've been busy cat-sitting, and every time I bring it out, the cats chew on it, chew on my pencils, chew on the easel, etc...  so I think I'm calling it quits and officially saying I'm done with this one.  I used some brown conte to give it a sepia / weathered look. 

SPRING INTO ART: Battlefords Art Show and Sale

I haven't been able to get to ask about the stats yet, but the Battleford's Art Show and Sale appeared to be very successful.  There were always people around when I was there - they were looking at the wide variety of art, and snacking and having a good time.

There were paintings, drawings, sewing, quilts, jewelry, etc. 

I think Mary and Howard were happy with their portraits. 

I cropped and framed Fred's picture in a bit of an unusual way - as I wanted to call attention to the wheelchair.  Its an important part of Fred's life.

So hopefully the cropping didn't make the picture look too unusual.
