Of the Peggy Habets class. 

Donna from Maryland. She got a little dark. One thing about strathmore mixedNMedia books. They live watercolor but it’s hard to lift it. 

Raisin and Oshow her Friesian Horse 11×16. 

You never know. I almost forgot today. Too busy painting and then hanging out with friends. Painted all day on this. 

The sketch in 300# Kilimanjaro Last nite. Off to the races. 

Raisin done. Well mostly. 

Will just post the pictures in order so you can see the progress yourself. 
As of five today. Going to live with it and see if it says it’s done.

I played with pastels today. Conte crayons on canson paper w a bit of charcoal. 

Number two. She wasforeshortened. I was sitting almost underneath her so my perspective was odd. This one might need some work. But Kathe and I were off to the polo matches to take pictures so no time today. I only took about 500 photos today. Eeek.

Drew Murphy painted this big one in FORTY MINUTES. It’s about four feet long. Amazing. 

Then he did this one. If he weren’t so nice we could hate him.  

Kathe Dennis having fun. 18×24″ pastel
Her first one. Charcoal and conte. Always love her scratchy lines. 

Rachel Miller. Go round 1. Watercolor. 

Rachel’s number 2. Well done Rachel!! 

And I didn’t get any other photos. Sorry!! 

But I have a lot off photos of the polo players. 

And some of the other photographers. 

And one of their bucket of balls. I guess they are called balls. I don’t know for sure what they are called.  When the mallet hits the ball it sounds like croquet. So probably wooden balls. 

Anyway it was a beautiful day and fun hanging out with the other photographers who were pros and very nice to us.

Margaret tired and ready for bed 

But first a bit of keeping track. Need to do some more of these but this week has been so hectic missing Rachel Maddow. 

This is truly mixed media with white and red grease pencil watercolor pencils ink and watercolor. 

Stillman and Birn Alpha Lamy pen noodler Lexington gray ink. Ted Nuttalls transparent palette. This is probably my fav so far of these. Well that and the General Flynn page. He’s one of my best sketches. 

Dr Sketchys tonite. Hurrah. Maybe some more mixed media?!

And I went to the flat track races today in Aiken. Almost forgot to blog. Oopsey. 

Today I didn’t feel like standing up and painting so I drew. I also needed some fodder to alter sooo I drew a lot. This is probably the best of the batch and is drawn with caran dache neoclor ii watercolor crayons. Always fun. The best part was that since I am going to alter them it doesn’t matter if they are the best art ever which is liberating. 

This is the first one I did.  Pencil. 

Number 2 pencil and Prismacolor pencil. 

Number four caran dache again.  

Tom Needham’s watercolor. He really caught Andreas look. 

Al Beyer’s watercolor. Great job as usual. 

A.C.Daniels lovely small oil. My fav I think. 

Drew Murphys big acrylic. He had a terrible angle but this turned out great. 

Jeremy’s beautiful pencil sketch. 

Rachel’s Great watercolor. Hasn’t been painting but a few months so it’s really exceptional. 

Fred. What can I say a dentist sees us differently?!

Still working on the Avenging Angel. Decided her chest was a little too much white. 

Anyway. Ttyl
