Drawing

I pulled out some old sketch books yesterday, 

(to get ready for my new class!) 

 and found these drawings I did about 5 years ago

in life drawing class. 

I can't wait to get back at it and see where it takes me! 

I also found this in one of my books.

My amazing friend Sally Dean did this one day, out of her head, 

while just hanging out in the my studio! 

I love that!

Meanwhile, our professor shared this awesome 

Ted Talk on drawing. 

Enjoy!

Back to School

I received the supply list and syllabus for the "Light on the Figure" class 

I'm taking with Catherine Kehoe at Mass College of Art this semester, 

and I feel like a college kid again! 

I've been following her workshops and classes for some time now 

and finally was able to get in! 

Pencil drawing 

10 x 8 

Her method is based on initially creating shapes with straight lines

so I played around with a pencil and a ruler this weekend,

to get the hang of it.

I just know this class will shake things up a bit for me 

(and my work) so stay tuned!

NOTE:

I even ordered some "sensible" back to school shoes!

Beach Games

This new beach game, Spike Ball,  has been really popular this season.

I'm not sure what the rules are or how it is played,

but I know it's not easy!

These four guys were the first one's I've seen 

that could actually keep the ball in play! 

Beach Chums

There is nothing more fun than a glass of wine 

on the beach at the end of the day

 with a few great chums.

Things are winding down at the beach
