Spontaneity and Gesture

"I am motivated to find the essence of my subjects

through spontaneity and gesture.

Viewers can interpret as they wish... 

Thus they become more personally involved 

with what they see before them."

rather just roll up our selves and dig in."

Become Who You Are!

"The person who has acquired the habit of study, 

for only one hour every day in twelve months, 

and who keeps to the one thing studied till it is mastered,

will be startled to see the progress made at the end of a year."

~E. G. Bulwer-Lytton

"One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more."

~ Washington Irving

Inspiration From Everyday Life

"The MOST important source of inspiration for painting

ideas is our own lives... and what we like the most."

~ Jack Dickerson

Look at this 36" live flower beauty Jerry saved from the trash and brought home

for me to photograph, sketch and paint!  

"One need not travel the world for inspiration.

If one is receptive it meets them half way, everyday."

~ Sandy Sandy

This Sketch is done in my Field Watercolor Journal from the photo I posted above.

"When you do a sketch from life or a photo, don't be

afraid to move things around, use your imagination

and employ some artistic license!" 

~ Sandy Sandy

  This is why people throw out fresh flower wreaths .... They just don't last 🤔 But, I made use of the best looking blooms of these short stemmed beauties and made up several bowl arrangements,

which I photographed and will draw and paint. 

"Opportunity is missed by many people because it is

dressed in overalls and looks like hard work."

~ Unknown
