….day 100 and 101 of 365 Days of Art
I’m redoing a class in abstract painting with Karine Swenson. Our first assignment was to create these abstract studies in charcoal.

…..in the eyes of children
We hate them but children all over the world love dandelions, especially when they go to seed. My granddaughter is no exception.
In an open area next to my daughter’s house is a grassy lot that hasn’t been mowed in awhile. It is a haven for dandelions. Last Saturday my granddaughter and I went for a walk or should I say my granddaughter took me for a walk and she led me straight onto this field of joy.

Which way are we going Winnie? Two days spent with my granddaughter.
Day 1 – At the Purple Park
Which way are the children going?
Day 2 – Walking with Oma through the dandelion field

Down the ramp and along the fence by the church

Through the construction site and past the shops on James St. N.


…days 98 and 99 of the 365 Days of Art
Over the last two days I’ve gone back to my 500 Daily Drawing Prompts journal to create two more sketches. The first one I did was the spooky tree which was fun to do but I feel like I relied too heavily on an image I found on Google. The second sketch, the mythical beast, was my own creation. I did search the web for some ideas and came up with this flying serpent.

A couple of days ago I was watching a video on YouTube on how complementary colours ‘vibrate’ when placed next to each other. Jean Lurssen does a series of watercolour videos with exercises that help the painter loosen up and experiment with a number of different techniques. Check her out.
