Uri the Footballer

High Kick

Here is a little oil sketch of my grandson Uri. Done on a gesso-ed  corrugated cardboard. I find using odd pieces of cardboard, matte boards and other recycled stuff lets me be less constricted.   This was done from a photo taken a year ago when he was three and half.  Link to picassa album.

Portrait of Asha

A new beginning... I will be blogging in only one blog.... and hopefully keep it more active.... I have also changed the title from  My 120 Painting   A Journey to just  My Journey...It will contain what ever I am doing whether its a WDE  work... daily painting... photography...  sketches.. WIP [works in progress] .... workshop paintings....  no more numbering.... I was finding it too difficult to keep track..

This January I decided to try again to do a portrait of my sister Asha [Susan] who passed away 4 years ago at 61.  I had started a portrait 4 years ago, which was not successful and was scraped off. I had tried since but never really got the likeness and the personality.... I am pretty happy with the results... I will take a better photo but in the meantime here it is..
