Found Object Alphabet

This was so fun to make, and the kids enjoyed getting in on it too.  Some of my favorites are the "G", "X", and "Y".  Oh! and "I".

All I did was use a glue gun to attach the found objects to the board, and put it in a frame.

You got to love something from nothing.

Sketches and Studies

 I'm trying to get back into the habit of sketching every day.  Something- anything.  From life, from my mind, from a photo.  It doesn't mater. It's one of those things that can help so much, and only takes a few minuets to do.  Here are a few I did this week:

This one was from a photo:

This from my mind:

This is a combination from a photo I took/on location

This also led to me pulling out my dusty old box of oils.

And I did a couple quick, small paintings of an orange slice, done in oil.  It's been way too long since I touched oil paints;  rich, buttery saturated colors.  Yummy.

Hopefully I can stay in the grove of things, and there will be more to come.
