Class Project Preparation

Tomorrow four artists are coming to my studio for an art class. Today I've been busy preparing the lessons I wish to present. I'm hoping to guide them through two paintings in the two hour session, one in gray values and a second in color.

Home With The Hummers

I did a bleach soak on my ten hummingbird feeders today. It took about an hour and the hummers were getting very impatient. Needless to say, they were very happy to see me hang them back up.

SEA LEVEL SICKNESS

I've had "Altitude Sickness" before, but didn't get it this time when I traveled to Colorado's high elevation. I just got back home early this morning and have had a case of "Sea Level Sickness" ever since. Missing the mountains, today I finished this pencil sketch I posted here on Saturday.
See more sketches from Colorado in my older posts.

Hawk Feather

I sketched this hawk feather at breakfast. When you get into the habit, drawing becomes almost automatic.

Lost Lake

We did a three mile hike around Lost Lake and Dollar Lake today. The trail was rocky but easy and the vistas were amazing.

Plein Air Sketching in Colorado

I quickly drew this fir tree this morning in my friend's yard. We will be going out sight seeing again today. See photos from yesterday's trip on my web log.

High Mountain Road

I have not had internet access all day here in Colorado, but here is the daily drawing for Thursday. This was the drawing demo I did at the Rijks Gallery in Crested Butte here yesterday.

Hummingbird Talk

I'm sitting here this morning looking out over the mountains as I sip my coffee and watch my friends hang their hummingbird feeders. I've seen lots buzzing around their yard and I'm looking forward to seeing the little Colorado Cuties up close and personal. I love talking about them and will enjoy my hummingbird presentation today at the Rijks Gallery.

Colorado Rockies ~ Wildflowers and Grandeur

I'm writing from Colorado. The beauty and grandeur is just awesome!

Wish you were here!

Colorado Landscape

I'm sitting here at the Denver Airport. I've got a few hours to wait for my friends to arrive, before we can drive out to Crested Butte. I can't seem to send out to my google groups from here. I will try again when I get to Crested Butte. I did some sketching on the plane and it really made the time go by faster.

A Busy Day ~ Hummingbird and Wildflower

The day before travel is always so busy. Today I'll be preparing for my trip; packing, planning and cleaning.

All Down Hill - Baby Elephant

Today's elephant silhouette reminds me that life is what you make it. Our attitude and belief system can determine whether we see things as being an uphill battle or all down hill.
