One of my favorite media is pen and ink with a color wash.  I sold this to a friend of mine and I hope it brings her joy each time she looks at it.  I want to also thank her for obtaining another of my artworks into her beautiful home.  Here are a few pen and inks with wash.  

Today I attended a Small Business Workshop in Clarksville.  I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about starting a business.  I think some or most of the information will be very helpful for me as a working artist. It was short and to the point, 8-1 and they fed us too. 

I've just returned from Tom Francesconi's  Workshop.  He leads such a wonderful workshop, wonderful instructor.  I learned so much about watercolor painting and color. I totally enjoyed the entire experience. From his web site, "Tom Francesconi’s paintings have become nationally recognized for their unique, interpretive style, flavored with a richness of color and decisive brushwork."  

I got the studio cleaned up after a long chain of events here in Erin and in my Studio.  First, St. Paddy's Day came and went. There was that truck that crashed into the studio, then I helped my Grandson with a school project.  Last Friday I moved all the furniture away from the air conditioning unit so my landlord could install a new unit.  So I had to move things back and get the studio cleaned up.  I changed the furniture again.  I think I've finally found the way it will work best.  If you have noticed, I have three work stations for only me.  One is for Acrylic and Oil, that the easel. One drawing board for watercolor and one for pen and ink.  I can never throw out a perfectly good drawing board.  There's another drawing board (smaller) in the back for artists who want to stop by to paint or draw. 
Yes, I had a really good day.

My handsome grandson finished the painting he was working on.  I mentioned before that this was his first painting.  He did it for a class project.  He picked a tough subject to paint and he wanted it to be large.  I think he did a fantastic job.  We painted together for three days and it was so much fun.  He already had it all drawn out when he got to the studio.  He's a great young man in this Grandma's eyes and talented too. .
