Girl2 and I have simplified breakfast into sharing whatever whoever decides first wants. For instance, if I wake up knowing I want eggs, we share eggs. If she wants pancakes first, that's what we get. Then we sketch while we wait on the food. This week, she wanted me to sketch her. So I did.

Perspective is one of those subjects that you could talk about and study for years, but I only had an hour so I just hit the highlights. However, I covered a LOT of information fast and furious in out little one hour session. I discussed when and how to use simple up close perspective VS. two point. I discussed using the basic knowledge of perspective to block in your subject so you can spend more time on the details. Finally I illustrate how perspective plays a part in figure drawing and still lifes as well as landscapes.

My beautiful young bride has been doing P90X. I know that I have talked about it on the show before, but she is really kicking butt at it. My experience was that it instead kicked MY butt. Anyway, I tell her that she is beautiful and that she is my wild thing. This journal entry is devoted to that, complete with D. H. Lawrence's quote, "I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A bird will fall dead, frozen from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

I've been painting a popcorn in Painting Class. I've been using this to illustrate basic shading and highlight techniques, as well as a bit of my own flair and why I do it. Anyway, I'm calling this one done and I'll start a new project next week.
You can join me weekly for Painting Class at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/oasisgalleryok. Live drawing and painting classes are absolutely free, but it's a password protected channel to make sure that everyone who wanders in there is there on purpose.

My dad and I were able to get the central heat unit running. Once I get the wiring into some conduit, build a cabinet and a Plenum, this baby'll be ready for the Midnight at Oasis art parties! In the meantime, it certainly is nice to not be chilled to the bone while working in the studio!
It's not pretty, but it works!
