I enjoyed playing with watercolor today at the life drawing lab. It felt very freeing going in there to just see what would happen, no expectations! Hmmmmm, I'd like more of that in my life! :)

Today I just had to work on something besides the last post's painting! I've been playing around with watercolors more and thought I'd see what I could do with this subject. Love the idea, but am afraid it's "trying to hard"! Anything but loose! Oh well. . .it takes practice!

Frank walked into the gallery the other evening when I was working. I didn't recognize him! He is a Bend institution who we are used to seeing with a beard and mustache, long hair, old Carhart jacket and pants sitting on a street corner with his dog(s) and cats playing his guitar for money. I've met him before, but Thursday was the first time I ever really talked to him much. He's been going through a big change--hence the clean-shaven look, bright feminine clothing and so much more jewelry than I could indicate in this study! He graciously allowed me to take his photo so that I might paint him, and was particularly concerned that his Michael Jackson t-shirt be in the picture. Hopefully I'll be painting him more.

One last little watercolor from our trip. . .this was outside of Vancouver Art Gallery where we feasted our eyes on paintings by the Group of Seven and saw some very interesting digital photographs by Scott McFarland. I loved the surreal quality of them.
