This is my first attempt at blogging so bear with me. Yesterday I worked to complete three figure paintings from "Go Figure" (the drawing group that meets on Tues) It was good to get back to my favorite passion-painting the figure.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to JUST PAINT instead of worrying about the everyday nitty gritty and the bad news of oil rings on our big bath tub, the Gulf Mexico. Very distressing. It is like the aftermath of a hurricane but never ending.Enough of the doom and gloom.
Forget the BLACK Do a painting with purple ,orange, and lime green. Don't get stuck in a rut. Take a piece of unstretched canvas ,pour 3 colors on the canvas then fold canvas(without making a hard crease) See what you have and let it guide you. Have a good time. Don't worry,Be Happy. Let me see if I can put pictures on this blog.

All the "Go Figure" group had a great day! I would like to attribute that to the two beautiful models! My daughter Shawna modeled and so did my 7 year old granddaughter Shayla. Haven't photographed my two 30" x 40" starts yet . Would like to put those on the blog so I can show my progress. maybe next time. Thanks to my Texas friend Cheryl I figured out how to get back to the blog to add or edit.
Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July. Enjoy the fireworks.
By the way my retrospective will be hanging at Pensacola State College(formerly PJC) through July 22 at the Anna Lamar Switzer Center for Visual arts Gallery.
