Willie Study in watercolor and colored pencil...I posted this on facebook  
 a few days ago. A scribbled study for my student "A....", who took a good photo of Willie at a concert. I was showing her how to see color in her "tonal" photo......and have you heard
Willie's new song "What'll I Do"?.... CLASSIC WILLIE!!
Below, I mention a DIFFERENT painting of him...

One good thing I learned in my art was to just START something!..I might only have 30 minutes till the kids needed me. So I would START.... and when I had to leave, that little "start" would call to me..."HEY! Here I am...come baaaaaack"....Whereas, when I stayed up all night to finish something, then there would be such a feeling of "DONE", that it was hard to start something new, later! I once stayed up for 72 hours STRAIGHT, to finish a job for Willie Nelson...(a promo poster for one of his albums)
 My best efforts have been projects that had lots of little pieces. An idea written on a napkin. A doodle in a doctor's office scribbled on a magazine subscription card...these were taken home and tossed into an "idea box"...the 1980's version of Evernote was a shoe box :)  Eventually, the little ideas would repeat themselves and I would take the little notes out of the box to put together! SO! My advice is to "doodle" at it...START something...it will be calling to you!!! ..."come baaaaack"!

Hi Donna,
Oh I am SO sorry sweet Grizz Bear is gone. I often wonder why our best friends live such short lives. 
Here is something that someone sent me a few years ago and I share it with people who I know will get it because they love the gift of dogs!!... A simple song you will sing all day...after a little tear or two.  :...)



I can't wait to meet PETE!
I love that name already!!! The first wedding gift we got was from my sister who gave us an Irish setter we named Pete. A fabulous dog who ran with me each morning. He was tireless and after my 6 miles (which was at least 12 for him because he ran a wider circle), he would follow Paw's tractor through the fields all day and chase down rabbits. His record was 27 in one weekend! Haha
Sorry for "TMI"...
Yes ma'am, I would be honored to paint Pete. 
Just say "when"!
(And tell me if you like the little video :)
Happy New Year!)

Virginia,

You never cease to amaze me! You painted the Grizz Bear for me about 5 years ago. Grizz is gone now, but the 16x20 of him lives forever in my husband's office.

Interested in doing another border  collie named Pete?
