Little of this, little of that

Acrylic on 8x8 Gallery Wrap Canvas

First, I'm happy to report that after searching long and hard around here for a painting class, I have finally found one! I went to Milwaukee today to participate in a class with James Hempel and I really enjoyed the class and the people. I will definitely go back. This is the painting I worked on today from Cezanne.


Acrylic on 12x16 Gallery Wrap Canvas

I've been struggling this past week with what to paint and I came across a landscape book which is where I got this painting from. Any practice is good practice!


I've been doing a lot of reading lately just trying to figure out this art thing and one thing that keeps coming back up constantly, well actually two things: practice, practice, practice and draw, draw, draw. I was inspired by Azra's post the other day mentioning a very talented artist Adebanji Alade and I decided to start doing a lot more sketching.

    Wow, Karen! These are all so wonderful! Cezanne is one of my favorites, so I especially love the still life. The landscape is great, too. And both paintings feel so harmonious. Well done!

    Keeping a sketchbook is such a wonderful idea, and you are off to a fabulous beginning. These are all terrific! I am inspired by both you and Azra!

    I am also excited by your new class. You'll have to keep us posted on what all you're working on, okay? How fun!
