From Monday, July 14 "Drawing is Free" session. Tried gessoed, cut up paper bags and the panel from a box today. Not sure how I liked working on it--wasn't able to get much color in. 2 to 5 minute poses. Thanks sitters and Chloë! #drawingisfree

New piece inspired by my typical breakfast. I love everything bagels and make my own "everything mix" to sprinkle on the cream cheese. So it's really an everything-topped everything bagel! Acrylic & charcoal on plaster coated felt, 22"x16" #bmoreart #baltimoreartist #bagelpainting #breakfastpainting

From Monday "Drawing is Free" session. Wash on the paper to match the humid weather; charcoal & chalk-pastel colored pencil; 2-5 minute poses. I like how removing the border masking tape made the newsprint edges translucent and fragile. Thanks sitters & Chloë! #drawingisfree

For some reason I'm stuck on doing variations on this composition. This is the third one and I've already started another! The piece is called "Doritos: Litter Bugs Me 3". It's acrylic and charcoal on plaster coated felt, 23.5 inches x 19.5 inches. #bmoreart #bmoreartist #baltimoreartist

100 Day Project, Day 100: Bye for now. This is the phone from my husband’s college dorm room. Even then it was pretty ancient, but it worked! Thanks to everyone who joined me on this 100 day journey. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 99: Flavor Bombs. Really, that’s what these cherry tomatoes are called. And they are soooo good. The tomatoes in our garden are starting to bud. I hope they’re as delicious! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 98: Smidgets. I use these tiny containers called Smidgets to hold mixed paint. I’ve had paint stay usable for years! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 97: Old stuff. My mother-in-law always gave me a cute little Clinique cosmetic bag on my birthday. This is one of them. I build up quite a collection before she passed away. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 96: Old stuff. Back in the mists of time, before computer graphics, designers used tape, wax, and ink. We used roles of fine tape to make lines. I’m not sure how old this pack is. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 95: Old stuff. According to family legend, during WW2 my grandmother hoarded Ivory soap. When I was a kid, there was a wooden box filled with bars of soap in our basement. This is one of the few remaining bars! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands

100 Day Project, Day 94: Purple gorilla. This little plastic, purple, wind-up gorilla lives on our kitchen windowsill. I don’t know why. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 93: Bauble part 2. This little bauble is my sister’s from when she was a teen. She lent it to me a few years ago to include in a still life drawing. Now I’ve drawn it and can return it! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 91: Oriental dish. This little dish has been around since I was a kid. I always thought it was for paint or ink, but I think it’s for sauce. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 90: Birthday candles. We have a weird tradition of recycling number-shaped candles on family birthday cakes. The candles get reused until they’ve melted through. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 89: Another cat mug. Yup, I’m a Gemini, and a cat lover! Today is chilly so I may need an extra cup of tea. Also I discovered that you can reuse making tape one time too often. Oh well. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 88: Gumby and Pokey. I remember watching Gumby and Pokey on Sunday morning, and getting a Gumby as a birthday gift. He/she/it’s long lost in the past, but somewhere along the line we got this Pokey. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #BaltimoreArt
