My first task is to redo this sketch / painting I did of one of our granddaughters. I did this Feb. 2009 and had never really tried to do a person before but this is one of my favorite pictures of her and she is the essence of PINK. One of the first lessons in the book I am studying talks about enlarging things you want to paint. Grids are used to break the subject matter down into bit size pieces - so instead of being intimidated by the task - you actually tackle it!!!! I know this is basic 101 but since I am not a trained artist - this really hit home with me. So, this week - I will be working to finish this for next Sunday's SS.
Thanks for visiting.
cheers, dana
make art - make friends - send art - share souls
p.s. I plan to be a better rider too!!! Just getting on a bike in late September didn't leave my much learning time in Michigan - but got my bike out for 1-1-11 and took a short spin!!!

Am loving your get up and go.. you will achieve your goals. Wow I'm really impressed by the motor bike, they scare the hebejebes out of me. Thanks for popping by my blog. Happy New Year

Happy 2011 !!!!!
What a great goal, the picture you did looks great, it will be fun to see it done again, but with the grid method (which I love by the way).
Great idea!!! I need to try to find my writing juices again...
