From Monday, July 14 "Drawing is Free" session. Tried gessoed, cut up paper bags and the panel from a box today. Not sure how I liked working on it--wasn't able to get much color in. 2 to 5 minute poses. Thanks sitters and Chloรซ! #drawingisfree

Painting of hand holding bagel on blue plate

New piece inspired by my typical breakfast. I love everything bagels and make my own "everything mix" to sprinkle on the cream cheese. So it's really an everything-topped everything bagel! Acrylic & charcoal on plaster coated felt, 22"x16" #bmoreart #baltimoreartist #bagelpainting #breakfastpainting

From Monday "Drawing is Free" session. Wash on the paper to match the humid weather; charcoal & chalk-pastel colored pencil; 2-5 minute poses. I like how removing the border masking tape made the newsprint edges translucent and fragile. Thanks sitters & Chloรซ! #drawingisfree

For some reason I'm stuck on doing variations on this composition. This is the third one and I've already started another! The piece is called "Doritos: Litter Bugs Me 3". It's acrylic and charcoal on plaster coated felt, 23.5 inches x 19.5 inches. #bmoreart #bmoreartist #baltimoreartist

100 Day Project, Day 100: Bye for now. This is the phone from my husbandโ€™s college dorm room. Even then it was pretty ancient, but it worked! Thanks to everyone who joined me on this 100 day journey. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 99: Flavor Bombs. Really, thatโ€™s what these cherry tomatoes are called. And they are soooo good. The tomatoes in our garden are starting to bud. I hope theyโ€™re as delicious! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 98: Smidgets. I use these tiny containers called Smidgets to hold mixed paint. Iโ€™ve had paint stay usable for years! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 97: Old stuff. My mother-in-law always gave me a cute little Clinique cosmetic bag on my birthday. This is one of them. I build up quite a collection before she passed away. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 96: Old stuff. Back in the mists of time, before computer graphics, designers used tape, wax, and ink. We used roles of fine tape to make lines. Iโ€™m not sure how old this pack is. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 95: Old stuff. According to family legend, during WW2 my grandmother hoarded Ivory soap. When I was a kid, there was a wooden box filled with bars of soap in our basement. This is one of the few remaining bars! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands

100 Day Project, Day 93: Bauble part 2. This little bauble is my sisterโ€™s from when she was a teen. She lent it to me a few years ago to include in a still life drawing. Now Iโ€™ve drawn it and can return it! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 91: Oriental dish. This little dish has been around since I was a kid. I always thought it was for paint or ink, but I think itโ€™s for sauce. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand
