The way things go… I had to drop the course on 3D design because the project media (wire, cardboard, etc) were more than these arthritic hands could handle. However otherwise things are charging ahead! After a break from the easel, I returned all fired up about a reference photo of a favorite muse, Olivia, a Native American artist on indigenous lands in Michigan. That’s the one oil painting featured here. I also completed these two dog portraits I’m really pleased with.
I am now working on a paid commission for a double portrait in graphite of sweet children. I am also accepting pet portrait commissions. The funds from these will be used towards the art supplies needed for our multidisciplinary project collaborating with homeless communities of Ukiah, We Are You. We’re partnering with Building Bridges, with our first workshops taking place in July!
