Grace was very good at explaining the structures needed for portrait drawing. I believe we all had a good time, but the venue was rather noisy making it difficult to hear. I would definitely do another workshop!

This photo was taken when I was visiting my parents in Mount Pleasant, SC. As a young teenager, my family bought a house in the Old Village of Mount Pleasant, and one of my favorite things to do was ride around on my bike visiting the scenic sites found in what we then called ?Old Mount Pleasant?. After I moved to TN and went to college at the UT in Knoxville, I would visit my parents throughout the year, and during those times I would always ride a bike or walk around the old village. At the

Title or Location: Balnagask golf course
I loved this photograph from John Strachan photography and finally got around to painting it in acrylic. I tried to be quite loose with the painting as there was so much detail. in the end I thought the sky looked a bit bare so with the help of Chat GPT I added seagulls to the photo and was then able to paint them into my art work. This painting will be heading for the Aberdeen art show the end of August for sale.
