and on to June-

Not sure about you all, but May has flown by in my neighborhood.

I have started a couple of projects this months and I am sure that they will take me into June and possibly beyond.

I started an Angel series this month and hope to draw Seven Of the High Archangels. Research has been fascinating as I read, paint, and listen for inspiration.

Here are a few images of the start-

Finished Archangel Jophiel

Drawing for Archangel Michael

Watercolor table- inspiration and all

The second project I finally started was an acrylic paint on canvas piece. It measures approximately 16x36 inches in size. I have been working on the sketch for a few weeks and finally felt ready to start the painting phase.

let the painting begin...

#WIP

The background and girl went down relatively quickly, I was pleasantly surprised. My original inspiration included an elaborated mask on the painted face of a girl. As I drew in the mask I had the feeling this painting was going to take another direction. I have decided to take some time and look at the painting from a few different angles. The black markings are charcoal. When I left the gallery last night I washed them all off and will take a fresh look at my girl today when I walk into the space. Fresh eye possible fresh idea.

And so it goes ...hurry up and wait- see you all in June folks!

On my drawing table this week-

May is shaping up to be a hurry up and wait month. Lot's of illustrating going on, but nothing seems complete.

This week was about the bridal season that usually happens in June. So far some nice things were turned out on the table, I hoping  a shining star will emerge in the next few days.

bridal sketching-super sized

Also this week I am trying VERY hard to work larger. The last sketch is approximately 16x20 inches. usually I work my fashion figure in the 9x12 or 11x14 inch range. I'll let you know how that works out.

Later you all

Happy May Day

We had a wonderful event last weekend in the gallery. Many Thanks to all of our old and new friends for coming out and saying hello. Also, a special thanks to my special guests, Rosemary Brown Sanders and Patrick McGovern, for helping me entertain everyone else that stopped by Medusa's Emporium on Saturday afternoon- You guys are the best!

 It is now time to turn the calendar page and get back to work.

My drawing table Monday

While an event is going on at Medusa's Emporium many things get moved around to accommodate the nosh table and enhance the ability for people to view and BUY the work on the walls.

My drawing painting table is last to be cleared. For this past event, the food and wine will be housed on this table. It is always the first to be cleared after an event so that my supplies can be brought out and work can resume ASAP.

Wednesday

She is almost complete. A few more fine details and I can start looking at her background. Her title is The Witching Hour and I see her as an October baby.

Several folks have asked me about producing a calendar for next year. I had wanted to do it this year, but I could not find the correct format. It's time to put on my searching hat again.

Enjoy your day

April Showers...

My first blog post on my new website. I hope that this blog is more successful than the one I have written on my old blogger site.

I still haven't decided what to do with that site... and in the next few days I will need to do a post over there to direct them here...

And so it begins yet another social media site I will need to check and maintain. Cheers Dears! And Happy April-one and all

xoxo
