Recent stuff

Update from the location sketchbook. The last is from a life painting session.(obviously...)


Lucked out on the scene. The stormy clouds had just a nice opening allowing the light to come through right on the mountain.(Although it only lasted couple of minutes...)




Had 10% off at a buffet. Ate a whole loads of cakes and other sweets. Painted the view across the river while digesting all the food.(Never should anyone eat that much...)



Sketching with a friend from under the bridge while waiting for the life drawing session to start.



Sitting at Starbucks without ordering anything.(nothing new there...)



A visit to the blue berry farm. Due to the cold winter, the blue berry is very limited this year.



Just another figure study on found wood from construction sites.(And you wonder why they always lock the place... *smile*)

I like the texture you've got on the found wood.. It's a really nice painting already, but the texture adds a nice little extra something to it. :)

Meg - Free stuff found in the dumpster always seems better than stuff I got from the art store...

There are a lot of construction here in the summer, which are filled with goodies. No wonder they often place big metal fences around the job sites. Maybe I should get the construction workers to prepare the surfaces before I start working on them. *laughing...*
