I’ve been busy the past month and a half. Sweating in the heat wave as I draw, working on drywall in my new studio, keeping the garden watered, and family things.
My husband’s grandfather passed away at the end of May and Grandmom followed him a month later so I painted a portrait of the two of them together. It was nice to get to “spend time” with them again.
I painted this to accompany Mark Anderson’s poem in the June issue of Spokane Coeur D’Alene Magazine. It has been a fun challenge to try to illustrate poetry!
A quick sketch while picking strawberries in Green Bluff before the 100 degree + heat wave. It was only 87 degrees when I painted this at 10 am.
I sketched the Monroe Street Bridge between meetings from the new plaza near the downtown library and City Hall. I’ll definitely be coming back to paint here when the weather cools down.
I enjoy car shows. I’m always so impressed by the creativity and style on display in the form of cars-this Metropolitan 4 x 4 has an eagle from a flagpole as its hood ornament.
A very GREEN commission of a house and pets that was a present from children to parents commemorating their home.
A demo for my Zoom watercolor class at the Spokane Art School of a path in Hamblen Park.
Another demo for class of a field of blooming vetch.
This is a recently completed commission of a historic restaurant painted for the family who used to own it. The building is still standing in Hillyard, but it is a a very different business now and has had buildings added on to the left side (which hold a VR studio!).
Hope that you are all doing well and staying cool!
