Just finished this piece of the fountain in Bellev

Just finished this piece of the fountain in Belleville's round square 😉 done in watercolor and pastel. Thanks to a suggestion from @susankrogers I started playing around with the two mediums. I think I like the results and will definitely be experimenting some more!
.
Done on Arches 300# watercolor paper with Daniel Smith watercolors and Sennelier soft pastels.

First set of completed projects in the new studio

First set of completed projects in the new studio at @leuciviccenter01 - Intro to graphite/charcoal. This was the first time the kids had used the grid method to sketch out their subjects.
.
Excited to see what they do next. Can't believe we only have two more class sessions!

I'm the advisor for Art Club at @leuciviccenter01

I'm the advisor for Art Club at @leuciviccenter01 we just had our second meeting yesterday and created Oreo art!
.
It's gonna be a fun year getting to know these crazies and hopefully doing a few projects that share art with the community.
.
Any local artist friends: if you'd like to come to a meeting and share your art with us, message me! (And if you don't message me there's a strong possibility I'll be reaching out to you at some point 😉)

Finally finishedy painting of the @belleville.hist

Finally finishedy painting of the @belleville.historicalsociety Mid-Century Modern Museum. I'd like to tackle it again from a different angle. Had fun doing the reflection in the windows!
.
I've got several new Belleville paintings for @pour322coffeehouse and the @bellevillemainst Art & Wine walk in November. Seems like a long time off and just around the corner at the same time.
