Dave's portrait will be leaving here tomorrow. Not sure how long it takes to get to Wales but hopefully before Christmas. I sent both graphite sketches and the watercolor so he will have plenty to look at when he opens it. It was so nice of him to ask me to trade with him. I still haven't heard from the other partner so he apparently isn't going to trade. At least now I will get a portrait in exchange. I would mail the other partner's to him but don't have his address.
I took my 2 plein air paintings to the Art Assoc. gallery yesterday. The show is for plein air artists who at least did part of the painting outside. It is ok if they finished it in a studio. The reception for the show is on Friday evening.
Now I need to get busy with a couple other Christmas gifts which will be paintings. I know what I want to do, I just have to get them going.
I sketched several more celebrities for the Art House Sketchbook 2012. Tom Selleck (as he is in the new show "Blue Bloods"), Claudette Colbert who has been my favorite actress since I was in grade school and saw one of her movies, Sean Connery (my favorite actor), Bill Cosby, and and Cat Stevens the way he looks today. tom Selleck is getting color put to his face now. I only have a couple more on the covers and the book will be finished.
I'm posting some photos I took at a local park a couple of weeks ago. I love watching the ducks and geese. They are so comical.

Wow you're a busy lady Jeanne :-)
Love the geese ... we have 6 at the yard where I keep my horse and they are certainly comic characters
My goodness, you have been busy! And all your projects sound like so much fun! The portrait is really great, I know your friend will love it. I'm looking forward to seeing the sketchbook!
