Mural Painting
Wow, I just realized I never posted anything about painting the mural in downtown Jacksonville. Sunday I put in a few hours with the Art League of Jacksonville and other volunteers to help paint a mural. It went well and definitely posed new painting issues I've never faced before. The next painting day I'll have a better idea of how to work on such a large scale. It was a great experience to be involved in the Jacksonville community and to contribute to a cause I care about. I wish I had pictures, but unfortunately forgot to put my memory card in my camera! Wow. Anyway, The Art League is planning another work day soon and I will be sure to post pictures of how the mural is coming along. I also have been caught up in my memoir writing class so no new pictures of my art just yet. Soon!

Arts in Jacksonville
I'm excited! I signed up to join the Art League of Jacksonville in painting a mural in downtown Jax on Washington Street. It's one of many recent initiatives by groups coming together in Jacksonville to support the arts and help them grow. I can't wait to see what the Art League of Jacksonville can do next, and I plan on helping.
And, I mentioned Carol Marine in a previous post...and I learned that she is represented by Corse Gallery here in Jax. She offers workshops and I plan on attending her April 2010 workshop! I can't wait.
Now, as for my personal endeavors...I've spent (or should I say wasted) so much time working on my website, that I haven't worked on a painting. I was happy to get some figure drawing done the other night, but I would really like to become what is now called a "daily painter" so I better get to work. For now, I will post some older figure studies of mine. I love them! These were quick 10 second gestures. They are a fun exercise and they force you to see the figure the way it is...and to put it on paper without second guessing. Stay tuned, I plan on doing a small still life next and posting it soon.
