NEW EXHIBIT IN FEBRUARY


I think, it looks like I may have a new exhibit in February at Mill and Leaf, The Arboretum, in Austin. Chalda Maloff has a wonderful exhibit there now as Featured Artist.


These are small paintings on gessoboard by Ampersand.

SOME OF MY BRILLIANT STUDENTS

The Drawing II students had a semester project of "Draw four things, of your choice, 50 times".
Yes the same four objects and four of the drawings need to be quality renditions. The other 46 can be doodles, play, fooling around.



 Marcy Villafana with a couple of her starfish compositions.



Here is Katie Sutton with a couple of hers.

Life Drawing Students were assigned life size skeletons with the bones labeled. The skeleton had to be doing something, not straight from the anatomy book.


Joseph Brandimarte with his composition.

Armando DeLara with his seated skeleton.

Rhiann Rice with her back view of the skeleton.

Katie Sutton is in both of my classes.

Erin McRae had a sexy skeleton.

This is not ALL of my students, just a sample.
