Urban Sketchers of Bluff Country met at JP's Kitchen and Pub on Friday afternoon in Fountain City and enjoyed a delicious homemade lunch and time to sketch.
Afterwards we walked around town and instead of finding the local historical center open we went into the Post Office to discover these wonderful paintings. Read on about the artist
I'm bring my paint box again and will try and paint outside before performances if the weather permits then meet meet you in the Gallery during intermissions. Hope you get a chance to stop by and register for my original oil painting giveaway.

Here's some of the process for painting this pet portrait. I used my artistic license to eliminate the blanket behind Riggs to see a better outline of his body and less details in the background to make for a simpler composition.
Below initial photo and photos at about every fifteen minutes as each phase is done.
Plus a few details added in studio. I like how my palette also changes with each phase.
Will work on another painting coming up on Saturday, April 12. I'll be there 6:30 until 8:30 pm

The final stop along the way home from San Diego was the Grand Canyon National Park.
The painting above was done in my studio upon returning home. Going for a little different look than my usual. Incorporating some drawing and painting.
I tried plein air painting on site but when I got all set up I found I forgot my canvases. I wasn't going to give up and pack it up so I found my sketchbook paper to paint on. The paper really soaked up the paint and it was very different and somewhat difficult. But at least I got some color notes while enjoying the view and fresh air.
