Time to Slow Down




















Life Drawing Final, part one, charcoal on paper


Dear Friends,

The semester is over and I am happy to have a bit of more free time.  I got an A in my figure painting class with Michael Steirnagle, an A from in my head drawing class with Ken Joudrey, and a B in life drawing from Michael Steirnagle.  It brings me awareness of how much I still need to learn and practice on my drawing skills.  I believe the last two weeks I was finally able to understand a little bit more which lines needed to be darker, the straight lines, and how the muscles work.  Specially after the final for life drawing were we needed to do a front and back full figure depicting the muscles of the human body in a creative way.  Happy to report I got an A on my drawings, you can see one of them above.


I have taken a short break from painting and miss it so much. I am traveling this summer so I won't be entering any jury gallery events.  I will be stopping at my favorite place on Earth, Yosemite!!!! I'm so looking forward to painting some scenery from this beautiful place and definitely taking a lot of photographs for references.

I'll be in Palo Alto as well. My daughter graduates from Stanford University and I'm so proud of her. Then I get to spend some time with her and my son...what a treat!

Enjoy your summer.

With love,
Glad
