The best thing I can recommend over and over again is to do lots of sketching. Some of my students have told me the last few days that they enjoyed seeing these little quick sketches that I do all the time. I was also reminded of the time I accompanied my daughter to Vienna when she was singing with a group that was performing there. I sketched everything! The buildings, the interiors, the singers, the hotel... I had my sketchbook with me all the time. Good or bad, fast or slow, I was indelibly etching these images on my brain in a way that a momentary snapshot never would. Now get out the pencils and get to work! This quick sketch is graphite and watercolor... $50/$5shp/NCSTx

As an active portrait artist and instructor, I have the lovely opportunity to travel to my work. Italy and Switzerland, where I spent part of my youth and teach even today, my beautiful North Carolina from the mountains to the coast, all around the US to create portraits or instruct painting workshops and speak...everywhere I go, I bring back these experiences through sketches and small color studies.
My studio storage nooks and shelves are full now of these small images that I promise myself "I will get back to..." Over the years, certain ones of these images have become some of my largest, most popular, and in some cases, award winning paintings.
Now I am selecting a few to offer to you... Visit frequently, enjoy seeing the world through my eyes, and perhaps one of these will become a part of your world, too.

What a lovely sketch! What kind of paper do you favor?
I hope your injury is healing quickly. I wish we had your weather - cold and rainy here today and the roses are long gone.
