A Little Catching Up

My two large ballerina paintings have settled in to their new places in my home. This one in the living room on a wall that was just begging for a painting.



 And this one in the foyer at the top of the stairs.





And to stay cool and out of the heat,  I have spent some time on figurative and portrait practice and some hound dogs!.
