Red Head with a View

Today I finished up this little painting. I have been experimenting with colored pencils and oil paints.  I found product that I love called Liquin Original from Windsor & Newton. It smooths out the colored pencil and oil paints, and dries the oils pretty quickly.   Down below are a few photos that I saw on a blog a couple of weeks ago. For the life of me I can't find out who posted these pictures below.  If anyone remembers who these pictures belong to can you let me know?  I thought I would use them as inspiration for "Red Head with a View".

Lazy days ahead

Its been so hot here, I am looking forward to my little Mexico trip starting tomorrow. I dragged this little watercolor postcard out that I painted 2 summers ago in the Grand Bahamas. Makes me want to go back. The dark spot to the left in the ocean was a great little snorkling spot that my girls and I could swim to everyday. Have a lazy day on me.
