Painted Sketch

Hi all! Here is last weeks sketch completed!

I've had a busy day with some of my family, which is why this post is so late! My oldest grandson turned 2 this week. Here he is with his favorite gift...balloons!

If you want to see other sketches, check out Sophia's blog. (see link on the right)
I'm off to see what everyone else is up to...have a great week!

New Sketch & Finished Painting

Happy Sunday everyone! Below is this weeks sketch, which I will use as a reference for my new painting I'm planning.

I was in Charleston this week and took pictures of the buildings which is where I got the inspiration for the sketch.
Here is last weeks sketch, finished.

And finally, here is a painting I showed you a couple of weeks ago, that I'm now done with...except for a coat of wax.

That's all for now! I'm heading over to Sophia's to see what everyone else has sketched today! I hope you'll join me!
Have a great week!

Sunday Sketch & an Explanation

Hi everyone! I missed posting yesterday, partially due to company all weekend. Here is my sketch I worked on over the weekend. (for more sketches, check out Sophia's blog with the link on the right)

This started as a scribble, then I looked at it from different angles and saw the chair and 2 cats. This is another idea from the Paint Free class I'm taking. I had several comments from my blog friends, wondering about the Paint Free class. What Wyanne is teaching, is how to let go and find your own style of painting. I'm really enjoying the class, so if you are interested, follow the link and please let me know if you join the class!
Have a great week everyone!

A New Painting-SS

Hi everyone! I hope you all are enjoying the weekend. We have had beautiful weather all weekend long and I'm loving it! Here is a painting I've been working on for Wyanne's class-Paint Free.

I'm almost finished with the sketch from last week...here is my WIP:
I'm off to see the rest of the Sunday Sketches! Check out Sophia's blog (see link on the right) for other wonderful sketches!

Sunday Sketch...Finally

I've tried to find time all day to post my sketch, but was too busy until now. (check out the link to the right for more sketches hosted by Sophia)

I'm taking Wyanne's class, "Paint Free" and here is one of my first assignments.

I'm learning to relax and just paint without stressing and thinking too much. This seems a little busy compared to my usual style, but it was so much fun! I also took Wyanne's class "Mixed Media with the Girls." Another fun class, which is teaching me so many new techniques. Here is my first painting...almost finished. I just have a few more details to add and she'll be done.

And last but definitely not least, my granddaughter Ashlyn Faith was born on Thursday.

I'm so blessed!
Have a good week everyone!

Sunday Sketch

Hello and welcome to another Sunday Sketch! Dear and I were at the beach last week and here is a sketch I drew while sitting in my chair.

Note to self; don't take an eraser to the beach...it ended up with sand stuck to it!

Sunday Sketches

Hello and welcome to this weeks Sunday Sketch, hosted by Sophia. (see link on the right)

She is already glued into my journal page and ready to be painted.
Below is my sketch from 2 weeks ago...almost finished. I just have a few more details to add.

Last weekend, my family came over for my birthday on Saturday and Sunday Tori and I had a shower for my daughter in law, Amy. It was such a busy weekend I didn't have time to post anything! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend.

Isn't Levi sooo cute?

Amy is due in 3 weeks!

Grant is adorable!
I'll be at the beach next weekend for a whole week and I probably won't have my computer. It might be a couple of weeks before I participate in the Sunday Sketch again.
Have a great week everyone!
