Have a frog study. I went to the International Music Camp in North Dakota as the painting instructor. Took the students to the gardens and had them sketch what they saw. This was one of my contributions to the lesson!

Yesterday (L) versus Today ®.
What a difference a day makes. Truly grateful for putting my art out there and receiving honest critique. The best input came from my best friend in Minnesota when I expressed concern about the feeling of my painting:“I think it’s the top foot more than the bottom one, maybe the leg. It just doesn’t have that soft baby feeling”
So, the goal yesterday was to soften it up. Make it more “baby!”
One of the hardest but most rewarding things I’ve learned as an artist is that a second, fourth, and tenth critique is always valuable!
Open yourself up to criticism and you grow.

Because having that special place you can call your Studio is hugely important. Steve and I are looking at new rentals for the next lease. My deciding factor is a room for my studio. His is a Fire-burning Stove.

Minus the piece of my dogs hair in this photo, this pretty much shows what I am doing… for upwards of 60 hours.
