tried a couple of acrylic paintings...

I'm not really an acrylic painter but I wanted to make a couple Impressionistic style paintings for the front and back cover of a sketch pad that I made.  The sketch book wasn't one of the easiest projects I have ever done..what with sewing the pages and gluing the paper, but it was fun and it will be put to good use :)

My daughter, Joscelyn, entered the Poor Clare cloistered community in Barhamsville, VA on Friday.
This video was made by a dear friend at her going away party at the Church last Sunday.
My heart is bursting with Joy and breaking with sadness right now...
below is also a link to the Convent and also to her blog :)

flowers pastel

worked on a pastel today that involved under-painting with pastel and alcohol.  this was fun, although I am not crazy about the finished painting.  want to try this technique again though :)
