Art Related Pinterest

I've been adding a lot of my favorite sites and things I like to my Pinterest site. Of course most of the pins are artist's web sites, art blogs or related to art.  I hope to put some really cool Photography, Graphic Design and Illustration, Favorite Food and Recipes and other pins up there over time.  I have to admit that it's mostly for myself so I can see all my favorite stuff in one place, but I also hope to introduce other people to these artists and view art and things that they may not have discovered otherwise.  Hope you enjoy!

Getting back in the groove

Well it's been awhile since I picked up the brushes but I've managed to get back into the swing of things. I've been trying get back into the "daily painting" thing and I cranked out 4 paintings last week which I'll post when I take the photos. Here is a sketch I did on the bus ride this morning. You quickly forget how much fun it is. You learn some serious quick sketching skills as well as the bus hits pot holes, people move in front of your subject, your subject turns his head or worse he gets off the bus altogether.  Hate when that happens!

I'm looking into maybe teaching a class at Create Artisan Studios in Wakefield as well.  They are located at 39 Albion street in Wakefield, Ma and there number is: 781-975-1319.

I spoke with AnnMarie the owner and we've discussed a few possibilities. Teaching a daily painting class either one night or over a period of a few weeks or a paint and drink night. Maybe even a weekly drawing course if there is interest.
