Berkeley watercolor blog plus more!
Found this - great peek at someone's sketch process: http://janabouc.wordpress.com/
Which led me to a blog where this guy has asked several people to draw/paint a portrait of him from the same photo. It's great fun to see the results: http://thistimeforreal.blogspot.com/
For those who may not have already discovered it - the classic fab illustration blog spot: http://illustrationfriday.com/

long time no write
I've been happily very busy with work and more travel to Austin lately.
Now settling in to the new company and carving time out again for artistic pursuits.
Going on Saturday to sit in on Gary's class and FINALLY get a start on the commission I have for the cat.
Also signed up for a Life Drawing class at Richmond Art Center for Wednesday nights. Body, body, body. It's the word du jour.
Was noodling around checking out artist residency programs and stumbled on a couple of artists web sites that I really liked:
http://www.wuongean.com/about.htm - narrative, soulful, slightly funny and disturbing at the same time
http://www.christinebourdette.com/ - seems to be very aware of physicality, feminity? I love this statement from the artist herself: "I seek to express the familiar, but with undercurrents that are dark, peculiar, elemental, or funny. For me, this expression reflects the ornery illogic of the human condition, its strengths and frailties. It remains a fragile circus, unlikely and charishable."
