Been working on Christmas card imasges all afternoon...and experimenting with paints that I don't use as much (if ever)--acrylics, fluid acrylics, pastels. I did the base of the bottom layer of the flower and leaves (actually I know the red part is also the leaf) in acrylics and the shading with the pastels. I have only used pastels twice now...but I love how you can shade with them and they are more forgiving than watercolor!

Vivian's shoes
I babysat for my 8th month old grand daughter last night and these are her shoes which I could not resist sketching. I found the poem on the Internet

According to neighbors, this goose who I used a photo reference for is close to 21 years old and has hung around McCurdy Park with ducks who have adopted each other. She is so used to people that she walked right up to my car window to see what I was eating. I thought she would make a neat Christmas card!
