Susan's Flowers



Just finished this charcoal drawing of flowers from Susan's garden. Last week she had me drawing in pastels. Never touched a pastel before so it was an adventure. But just the act of making art makes me feel so alive.

Thursday Drawing - Friday Oils




These are photos of me sitting on my own front porch. Painted by my friend Scott Burdick. Someday soon this should be an online video teaching others to paint.

My friend Scott

Last weekend my friend Scott Burdick was in the top fifteen artists to do portraits in Washington DC. Think he scored really high in the contest WTG Scott!!!

If you haven't checked out Scott and Susan's new drawing video's - you are missing out on a great thing. Check out their website www.susanlyon.com

Last week they came to my house to draw and paint another in their series of videos for artist. Who's that model? My she looks good for an old woman. This was such fun to watch them work. Hope you like the couple of shots I took. Great gift for artist to watch and learn from their video's.

Where has she been?

On February 28th my dear friend/ adopted brother passed away from Cancer. My Mother was really sick for 3 weeks in March. And passed away on March 28th from a Stroke. Due to a huge knot growing in my throat I had surgery on April 9th.

Hopefully I am on the road to recovery and ready to do some serious Art study.

Thanks to all for the cards, calls, visits, and especially food. lol
