Sketching Exercise........

 "Sun-Bathing" 

8.5" x 11"

Strathmore fine-tooth paper

This sketch is from photos I took last winter while camping at Camp Huaco on River Road by the Guadalupe River in Texas. It was common to see several turtles out sunning themselves on the rocks or a log in the river. The trees impressed me with their unusual curled roots; half in water, half on land. Such a peaceful place! I am considering doing a painting from the actual photos I took.

Day 22-23-24 30 Paintings/ 30 Days Painting Challenge

Day 22 - This is one of the first critters that greeted me at my new home in Pennsylvania a few years ago and I have been wanting to do his "portrait" since then. This painting challenge has been good for me in that it spurs me on. Only 8 more to go!

Day 23 -  We all need a little desert from time to time. I am treating myself today! Not by eating it , but by painting it. It just looked so luscious..... I could not resist!

Day 24  - Coconut oil is all the rage these days! I saw an article on "50 Uses for Coconut Oil,

 which gave me the inspiration for today's painting.
