Here is the final two day painting, it was a great workshop, nothing like hunkering down in a studio to paint during a torrential rainstorm. This was one to remember.

Day two painting workshop

was able to get a little more paint down this time, it's nice having all day to work on it in between Max's demos and lectures. Here is a link to his site. http://www.maxginsburg.com/

'Love Each Day'

A lamp in my apartment- found this painting app for my new iPhone this morning- technology floors me sometimes, and it makes me giggle-

' Baux de Provence'

If I remember correctly, it was Monique's idea to sneak in after closing hours and Mary and I were on vacation and willing accomplices,  a magical adventure indeed, thanks Monique, managed to get one quick sketch-

Title 'Lock'

Goodbye Bush? It's an old sketch, seems like a good day to let it go-

May we see better days with our new president-

'Montana De Birdy'

From a sketch done during a walk at Montana De Oro, central California coast. Another bird, hmm.
Finished up in Painter.

detail of "Le Pups"

This one's for Carmen

Many thanks to Carmen for generously providing me with photos of her pride and joy.
This was so much fun to work on , the background is an exercise in different materials and techniques for emulation, but mostly, these pups just make me smile.
