		<title>Finally &#8211; it&#8217;s out!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The new issue of &#8220;Practique des Arts&#8221; is out, and I can finally share both the piece I created as an exclusive for the magazine as well as the article.  Auburn Vessel, above, was completed last December after working on it for most of the fall.  It measures approximately 18 x 19 inches.  The article, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new drawing, and a vacation&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going back to the leaf drawings I enjoyed doing so much, but combining them with stones.  I&#8217;ve been working on this drawing, Prismacolors over Caran D&#8217;Ache Supracolor washes, done on Bristol Board Vellum.   I have a couple of new ideas to explore, including a triptych.  While this drawing is not complete yet, there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three Little Stones drawings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent the past two weeks working on these three little stones drawings.  It&#8217;s always fun to do these smaller pieces and work out some ideas quickly.  Well, I suppose quick is a relative term &#8211; quick for me! I have more ideas for little drawings to do in the future, but now I&#8217;m on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Completed Stones Still-life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And Presto-Magic, the rocks appear!!!  I had a lot of fun drawing these stones. The reflections, shadows and distortions were quite challenging, especially where they all converge at the same point.  The most obvious place for this is just under the meniscus line.  The overall color probably isn&#8217;t accurate due to the lighting in my [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;In a Purple Haze&#8221; stage two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the second stage of my current and very violet/fuschia still life. And Oh Em Gee, it looks like I forgot to draw the stones (wink wink Jeff George)! No, it did not take me two weeks to draw this much of the glass!  I am almost done with the stones.  The colors are [...]]]></description>

		<title>First stage of new drawing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the first stage of my new still-life drawing, and as mentioned in my last post, it&#8217;s very purple &#8211; or fuschia, magenta, plum, eggplant. . . . whatever you want to call it!  It&#8217;s also large (for me) measuring in at 22&#8243; x 16.5&#8243;.  I&#8217;ve completed as much of the background as I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hawaiian Stones drawing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the little Hawaiian Pebbles drawing I recently finished. My sister-in-law who often visits family in Hawaii gave me these little stones and they are all quite &#8220;aqua&#8221; in tone. But to accentuate them, I photographed them after wetting them in water. It really brought out the colors. If I have time, I plan [...]]]></description>

		<title>CPSA Dallas Convention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Another CPSA Convention has come and gone and what a great one this was in Dallas.   So many artists who are good friends congregated for this annual event that, despite the 100+ heat, I think it&#8217;s safe to say all had an incredible time.  There was a fun member&#8217;s meeting with door prizes, a slide [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Stones drawing complete!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a post of my newest drawing, another &#8220;Balancing Act&#8221;. . . in stages.  I started out, as I mentioned in my last post, working with only Faber-Castell Polychromos on Canson Mi-Tientes peach-toned paper.  I have notated under the images which colors were used in that particular photo/stage (reading left to right, top to [...]]]></description>
