September Update

Twenty new paintings in four months and still loving my digital IPad work.  With the fall and my birthday we are about to depart on another adventure...this time to northern Italy and Switzerland.  We are ready for cooler climes and to see our daughter, son and DIL.   That and Italian food will be the best part of traveling and we will be in small towns that fewer tourists haunt.

Most of the landscapes are James Juliers' tutorials although a few we mine alone.  All figurative work was with models or photo refs.

Memorial Day/May 2026 Updates

Update time again...painting digital works has been my therapy during the ups and downs of our recent move.  We finally have a few neighbors (besides the alligators, raccoons, wild hogs, and NoSeeums). I like being near a big city that has everything, and I am relearning my driving skills.....

I do have a new little art group but they don't have models so we shall see....

Below, some landscapes are from James Juliers' wonderful tutorials, and some are ones I created myself with Procreate.  All the people paintings are from photo refs which I guess is better than nothing...one is my sister....

Enjoy!

I wish I could figure out how to align these images!!!

February 2026

Can it really be the start of another year???   We did finally move into the new place after a wonderful birthday trip to Belgium and the Netherlands and we loved seeing son and DiL but missed our daughter terribly.   

I haven't painted as much with all the packing and unpacking and meeting workers and repairers and installers, etc.  I can't say it was fun but it is almost done.

All landscapes below are either tutorials or ones I have done trying to translate the lessons from wonderful James Julier.  The figures are people using photo refs as I have no model or art group for now.  I continue to love digital painting, though I do have space to use traditional media.....we shall see.....

ENJOY!
