sunsets, silhouettes, & shadows

things I forgot

I am a plant killer; I also don't know how to eat a persimmon. 

A root from some forest in San Francisco. 

My yard 

skull and horns

such a tease

I just sprayed fixative on a million drawings! (ok, not a million… more like 10)

Anyway, here is a tease of some new work in poor lighting. 

Dia de los Muertos

There were many things, 

like cats & dogs, 

lady figurines,

and feathers

(lots of feathers). 

There were people

 holding hands, 

checking in,

dancing, 

and waiting for their turn. 

There were lovers, 

loved ones,  

and a stormtrooper. 

There were drum beats,

mariposas, 

and heartaches. 

And last of all,

there were lights.

There was a puppy in drawing class today.

Chillin' with Lulu 

Gesture - three figures (and one that looks very phallic…)

Out of the fog

Monday is my new favorite day.

On an unrelated note

 Gigi is cute when she conquers tiny pillows.

Class

I really do love to draw.

Lord of the Pines

New poster yo! It's a paper cutting gone to photoshop fun town. Enjoy it. 

And if you need some real good times, check out the Matt Van Winkle Band in Los Angels. 

Here is the Facebook event!

Paper silhouettes

Cup of shame

Wednesday's drawing- I figure I'd work with watercolor pencils since some kiddos are using them in class.
As this drawing/ painting shows, I am terrible at watercolor pencils !! So, that's a skill I need to improve upon... No one likes a teacher who doesn't know what they're talking about.

Vase on a ledge

This is my attempt to do a drawing every day - here we go with day #2.

Oh gogh gogh,  I'm stealing your subject matter.
