International Sketch Crawl

I plan on participating in the World Wide Sketch Crawl (www.sketchcrawl.com) this Saturday, February 27, 2010...in south Austin.

If you want to join us, I have a small group meeting at Jo's Coffee at 1300 S. Congress at 8 a.m.
I'll be bringing my pens, pencils, paper, water color and some pastels...maybe a camera.

Then I'm crawling my way over to San Antonio...let me know if you want to join me there, too!

Happy drawing!

Listening for Each Other's Greatness

A really different style for me, this painting was commissioned by a client for her Valentine. Inspired by Chagall, I've only painted one other image similar to this one...many years ago, of a dream. It was really fun to see how I was able to "read" or intuit what the client wanted to be represented in their relationship. It was a pleasure and an honor to work on something so important to them. It really set something in me free...and I'm looking forward to exploring more of this dreamlike painting perspective.
