Another beautiful piece of art found sitting on the shore in Hovland, just waiting to be discovered and appreciated.

Studio Time
The most exhilarating way to spend an afternoon in the studio…..
1. Open a new carton of blank canvasses
2. Start painting!
“I don’t go to the studio with the idea of “saying” something. What I do is face the blank canvas and put a few marks on it that start me on some sort of dialogue.” Richard Diebenkorn
Let the dialogue begin.

Weekly Drawing
How is is possible that 3 accomplished (and mature) artists find it advantageous to make a pact with one another to complete (and “submit” to one another), one drawing per week? Not a sketch idea for a painting or a thumbnail to work out a composition or a preliminary drawing for rendering in another medium. A drawing done for its own sake….for no other purpose than to enjoy the process. I love to draw. I have always loved to draw. But somehow I had gotten out of the habit of just drawing for the pure enjoyment of it. We are 5 weeks into this “project”, and I am loving it…..I am seeing more each day as I consider my next drawing. And I am now doing more than just one drawing per week……just for the fun of it. I find the process itself to be a form of meditation.
