Gloria J Zucaro's "The Treasure of Time"

Tonight I am linking to Jennifer Mclean's  of The Artist's Playroom challenge of "What do you treasure?"  Of course, the first thing that pops into mind are friends and family, then creating art, then my home, health, etc.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how the main thing I wish I had more of and can never get enough of is "TIME". I never seem to have enough time to enjoy all the things I love, people I love and things I want to do.

I am also linking to all my artist friends over at Paint Party Friday.  Thank you to our hostesses, Eva and Kristin.  Be sure to pop in there to see what everyone has been up to in the last week.

This week I received my prize from Patsy over at HeARTworks.  She sent me a wonderful Artist Trading Card with a portrait and lots of blessings.  So fun to hear from Patsy in the Philippines!  Thank you.

Gloria J Zucaro's "Cityscape Study"

Yesterday we had another session with Ann Feldman for our oil painting group.  This time we had a review of One-Point Perspective.  Ann made it so easy for everyone to understand.  We all had different city scenes to paint and were to find the horizon line first, then look at all the slanted lines going toward it from above and below the horizon line.  Once we had those lines established we were freed up to apply any colors and shapes of building we desired.  Since we were using other artists' paintings as our reference, these are just studies for practice purposes only.  But now that we have revisited the rules for One Point Perspective, we can use this information with more confidence in anything we draw or paint.
