Portrait night on Tuesday

Art group sketch
acrylic on canvas
12 x 16 inches

What a day! I know I've told you before that this term
Tuesday is my long teaching day. So much going on
as we near the end of the term. It was cold here today,
but spectacularly sunny until late in the afternoon
almost evening. I drove home in sunlight -- something
I would only have dreamt of at the height of winter.
After fixing a fast supper, I got to my art group with
just over an hour left, and the model on break.

Our model tonight was spectacular, and I got an
instant fix on her face, which was lucky. One of the
finest painters in our group said he liked how I
paint. That was lovely. I like hanging out in the
breaks with friends and flipping through glorious
art books talking about what people do. One
artist we talked about tonight was Joaquin Sarolla.

I am quite happy with the quick little sketch I turned
out. I think I actually did "play" as Julia Cameron
suggests we do.

Have a "you-know-what-I-think-you're-great!" day
