SHRINE OF THE BAB'

Hi, my daughter Amber had a Baha'i event in her home on Thurs. night. There were about 40 people who attended to hear music, see art and socialize. A wonderful evening. She invited me to do a quick painting, so I did one of the Shrine of the Bab' during the event,....a quick 1/2 hour study in burnt sienna on a 30x30" canvas. So here it is, a bit messy, but from a distance, looks OK. Comments welcome.

PAINTINGS FROM THE BOONE WORKSHOP

Thought you all might enjoy seeing some of the paintings from the Boone workshop that happened this last July.
I introduced a new painting method to the folks there, a 4-step method that is about painting what you see with your inner eyes as opposed to your outer eyes. This is a painting by SCOTT, one of the particpants. (Hope you don't mind Scott). Click here to see the website page featuring many of their paintings.
