The studio is getting close to being finished. Maybe this next week sometime I can start moving "stuff" back in. I'm getting tired of painting in the kitchen but, at least, I'm close to the food:)

#21 of the "100 portrait challenge"

Saturday, January 9, 2010
I was able to get in the studio for a bit today to work on a few projects.... The remodeling on the studio has been exciting to watch!
I had ordered a few large pastel boards ( Cansen paper mounted on some type of illustration board) for some larger pastels but noticed they had mounted the rough side up....I usually work on the smoother side of Cansen. I decided to experiment a bit by appying some light water washes over some of my foundation colors...I was surprised to see it that it worked and didn't buckle the paper.

Sunny Side Up & Studio

Wednesday, January 6, 2010
This was a painting from a few years ago I thought I would repost....for the next few weeks, with the studio remodel, it'll be tough to get any new pastels done.
I've also included a few photos of the studio before they started work on it!
