SKETCHCRAWL #25 Vancouver Nov.21

Edison sketching and Leo working on his storyboard layouts - Granville Market.

sketches from the lastest Sketchcrawl. 5 artists started out at the Netloft on Granville Island - hiding from the miserable weather. In the market, looking at the views out the windows, and moving later to the art school lounge where it was warm and quiet. Always nice to spend time with like-minded artists, and the discussion roamed along with us from mythology to movies. a great day. Check out the GLOBAL sketches on the forum site - all those crazy sketchers out on the same day all over the world. SKETCHCRAWL.com

exhibition GIFT of the EAGLE - NOVEMBER

new paintings for solo show

well not much sketching going on the last couple of weeks ...
but a lot of painting in the studio. I posted some sketches back in August of the concept for these new paintings.

I was bit scattered about what to concentrate on for the new work with a November deadline looming for the show at Gift of the Eagle - local gallery here in Gibsons BC. I guess my passion for the garden wins out every time.

There will be a series of large canvas , close-up (but not Georgia Okeefe closeup...) dynamic compositions of blooms, and a few still life of florals, baskets & china. I am going to include the watercolor studies as part of the show (matted only) and hope to have a series of small 12x12 canvasses available as well. I will see how I am doing with the large work.
