I went to a painting session that had a live model today in Worthington. It was great to get out and out of my element to work. Only one problem, I was in the back of the room, really far away, and I forgot my glasses. So I really couldnt see what was going on. Overall I like it for a two hour session.

I only allowed myself a few minutes to paint today, 22 in fact, and this is the result. No blending or softening, working with mistakes and moving forward. Keeping my mind fresh and open without constraints for whatever comes this weekend at the Art at the Arnold painting event. Soooooo excited!

The bluest bloom on my orchid from Dominic. Love the color, love the subtle form.

Green beans today. I have to admit, I really enjoyed painting these today. Kind of fun and loose. Not very intimidating, I mean, they are beans after all and there are only three of them. HA!

I painted with a still life group today (COPA), it was interesting to have to work with the subject that they picked. I didnt get it all finished in the hour and a half but this is what I got. I literally did the candle holder in 5 minutes to get it done for critique. Not to bad overall! I might have to go buy some vintage books to paint.

Carrots Carrots Carrots. We hung out tonight. They got to watch me drink some wine. Overall, we got along for an hour or so.

Finished the orchids today. Love them. My last orchid painting was swept away by the wind into an empty corn field. I will take proper precautions with this one!
