While my new student drew her first still life I decided to make a few sketches. The man is from a book that I will be talking about soon and of coure, the back of  the woman is my student, and I have every student draw a can of bull dog clips as part of the still life so I decided to sketch that as well.

I’m not very happy with the new layout of the blog and I”m also having a bit of a time trying to find a new one that I’m happy with.

I have a few sketches I want to show, however, I really want to figure out this whole “take attractive pictures”  thing I have been hearing so much about.

I also have more than a few exciting changes up in the air right now.

My goals for this blog, this year, are to have better images and to brush up my writing skills. By the end of the year I want this blog to be so lovely you never want to leave.

Oh and I also decided to go back to deviantart.com. It’s still not a site I’m happy with, but it’s very difficult to ignore the size of it’s community. Not to mention I’m lurking a few more places online, but once I actually figure out what those places are for I will let you know where to find me.

Disclaimer: I don’t personally believe she is a ho, it just isn’t very often I think of such a witty title. Actually I don’t even know if she left the guy and started dating my ex, nor do I care. I did not stick around that ridiculous situation long enough to find out. 

  Although still a valid question and one anyone should ask when someone leaves another to start a new relationship.

The Illinois Watercolor Society has their promotional poster out for this year’s National Exhibition.

Yep, that’s my painting in the upper right. I wish they would have added a credit, especially since I’m not a member, but whatever. I’m happy to be picked for it.
