Did 2 plein airs this week, an oil pastel sketch near Juneau Park, a water color pencil sketch at Lion's Gorge. Weather very fine. Some miscellaneous pencil sketches around town and at Retzer Nature Center's Apple Harvest. The apples & apple pies were real good. Here are the sketches in no particular order.
My niece & nephew were in a cross county event at McCarty Park so I painted there with a friend. It was fun. Some people came and sat down in front of me so I quick painted them in.
Had jury duty this week. While waiting to get called onto a jury started a color pencil painting of Menomonee River on Wisconsin Michigan border. Then during one of our long lunches while sitting on jury, I sketched Civic Center Complex/ MacAuthor Square. Very good views of skylines. You're far enough back from the buildings to see.
About this blog I started this blog to record my artistic journey and evolution as an artist.
I like to experiment so my art is a constant work in progress. Currently I do a lot of plein air painting with the Milwaukee Sketch Club and the results of these outdoor painting adventures are recorded here.
In addition I like to record various tips I learn that are useful to an artist, like framing or how to carry wet canvases.
I hope you enjoy my blog and hope that it inspires you to reach towards your own particular dreams/goals in life one day at a time.
