This was a workshop exercise at Mark Mehaffey's workshop, this last week.  It was a riveting experience.  The work is on Yupo paper.   Because of its non absorbency, color effects and techniques are amazing.  One could spend a lifetime exploring the possibilities.

This was about all I could draw in this heat.  The flower looks a lot less wilted than I was.

Love those bones.  The shapes and colors of the bone were inspirational.  There is staggering beauty in everything under the sun.

A posthumous portrait of a dear friends' companion.  This was painted on a new kind of paper called "TerraSkin".   It is suitable for a lot of stuff.  I like the minimal absorbency and color retention.

Went "up north" on a holiday.  The north wind was blowing off the lake, but a warm haven from the breeze was found by the garage.  The sun felt wonderful while I painted this Plein air study.
