Plugging Along

Tuesday AM in the studio feeling pretty good. Got a piece framed and ready to ship to Raleigh for a Flower Still Life show and making headway on this next watercolor. I'm really enjoying painting this one, sorta savoring it cause it's a subject that seems to paint itself. This young man is playing an old National Tricone steel guitar - one like the old blues players played. I failed to get his name, but he has a bit of a story. What I know of him was related to me after the fact by my students who seemed to know a lot more about him. Sure hope that I run into him again. I'll post the finished image - I want to say in a few days, but I'm having so much fun that I don't want it to end.

Joyu #2

Joyu Lee #2
22x30" watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb.
This is the second attempt at Joyu playing cello. I'm thinking that I may ask her for some more reference shots in either natural light or directed light, would be much more interesting. I'm sorta faking the reference shots I have - taken in that damn industrial lighting I have in the classroom. I'm afraid to ask, lest she think I'm obsessing here!
