The New Year brings with it a yearning for something new, a new beginning, new plans. I am part of a group called Let’s Face It and we are painting portraits for 52 weeks. Quite a challenge but it has returned me to my love of drawing and why I wanted to make art in the first place. I admire Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent, Norman Rockwell, Edgar Degas among others who captured the human form and expressed their lives surrounding them.
I hope you enjoy following my journey as I attempt to create expressive portraits this year. “Lady in Red” was my first endeavor using pan pastels and I like them a lot!

Boys Just wanna have fun so for our first art class of 2024 we made funny faces. We had an enjoyable afternoon making faces with paper and water soluble pencils. I think they did an excellent job!
I created along with them and had Big fun!
