                                        Boulevardier                         Dirty Fingers from sanding Paintings

My drink for the month of October was the Boulevardier, and I have been sanding the surface of a bunch of paintings. The end results with the discoloration of my fingers and hands. I'm digging the new paintings they are very much in progress & I'm working on some new projections as well as using some flocking on these beauties.

Here are a couple of terrible fotos.

So Drawing class is going well
So here is a pic of a bunch of tree drawings from October!
