Notes from the Bijou


The Bijou

My sister started a blog and I simply cannot be left behind!  My idea is to share whatever I am doing in an effort to make me get busy!  It is also a way to interact with people so I would enjoy your input.  I will be posting some of my art and your critique is welcomed and remember this: I can't improve without constructive comments--my son who is an animator has been surprised with the thickness of my skin!  Being new to the joy of art, I need all the help I can get.

The Bijou is my little house and you will be seeing some improvements which have already been made but not photographed and, I hope, some other improvements that are yet to be made.  I call it The Bijou because it is a little jewel--at least to me.

My son says that people tend to draw faces that look like them.  His girlfriend says this picture qualifies. My eyes are not blue and my hair is not quite so spiked or red and my face certainly is not that young!!  However I look forward to doing something to this digitally.  I love lots of layers.


On the agenda for tomorrow (and it will be a miracle if I actually get this done) is to finish this painting.

The Callas

This is a bit out of perspective and a bit more work has been done on it since this photograph.  It will be fun to see how it ends up.  The name is a working name so feel free to make a suggestion.

Okay, please let me hear from you. It doesn't have to be about this blog.
