Andrew and I recently returned from a wonderful visit to the desert of Yuma, AZ to visit my maternal grandparents, Dorothy and Jack. We enjoyed 4 days of catching up, sorting through old photos, grandma's home-cooking, walks and pool time in sunny 75 degree weather. Here's a photo we came across of Grammy in a veggie hat she designed:
It says: "Eat Veggies". She is so crafty!
One of the perks of being a teacher is the time off! I'm thankful for the time with family and time to paint--I spent the rest of the week after our trip in the studio.
On Thursday one of the painters at Artist Muse brought her teenage son to model for us. Most of my paintings this time of year are landscapes done from photos so I really enjoyed the chance to break away from that to paint from life. Thanks, Pam and Stefan! Here's what became of that session.
Here's a peek into what's new (and not so new) in my corner at Artist's Muse (more landscapes...)
