Sorrow

I first "saw" her coming out of the water, hair flowing long, sorrows past flowing away. Then, next time she came for a visit there was more destructive power, trailing water as she destroyed cities on her wake. Last time we met, she was sorrow, made of tears... I can't paint that... but I tried and maybe in a few years I will try again. For now I will keep her like this... I worked so much on her in the last 2 days I can't look into it any more... a lot of my mistakes were tiredness (I would like to think)...

Hekate

I started on Hekate 2 years ago after the fasting retreat... she started making sense this year and I have been working on and off on trying to give her face shape and to get better at doing waves. I am still not there, but it is getting closer.

Life Drawing II

After 4 weeks away I thought yesterday was going to be a disaster... but I am very pleased with the hands and feet - even the face...

Life Drawing

It may look as though I have not been doing much art this year... that is mostly true. However, I have been going to life drawing... it was a rocky beginning and some poses lead to an outburst of giggles - I fast learned that was not part of the "etiquette"...

Below are the ones that look vaguely human.

Art Class II - Shed the Sheds

Stephen and I did an art class on Sheds... our conclusion... shed them!

Top pics are mine, bottom pics are Stephen's.

Ronilda & Marilda: the twins

Just started these two... and just to prove they never come out the same. Done on the same day, with the same template for the face - yep I did change the eyes a bit...

Painting Class

During the weekend of the 24th of July I did something silly. A class on painting with acrilics. Twelve hours and 3 paintings. The pace was not leisurely, but I confess that I am somewhat pleased with the results. The paintings are available for donation if I find someone interested in them...
