| Dear Subscribers, Greetings! I began a new still life with roses (bargain Valentine's day leftovers from the grocery store!). The setup:  Stage one: Expecting a race against wiltage, I went for the roses first, only being able to finish the bottom two in the first sitting.  Stage two: Finished that upper rose and getting into the rest of the painting. Whoops, I still need to get those stems and leaves in.  To be continued next week.... And a charcoal portrait from life model (vine charcoal and charcoal pencil on bristol vellum). Charcoal is such a good medium....it's so versatile and forgiving like paint!:  JUST SOLD! :   "Juicy Fruit Press" and "Against Gray" Until next week, David A. N.
