A quick one on Saturday

Tableau VIII, 16x20

Charles created an easy Mondrian-inspired painting today using egg tempura. While not as complicated as paintings made in the Middle Ages, it was interesting to feel the difference on the brushes.

More work at Wesley House

Charles was back at Wesley House @ CU this week both yesterday and today. His output this week included three benches, four chairs, a small table, a sign board, three bike racks, and a large rainbow sign!

Two from the studio

Uusmaalaisten laulu (Under the Fir-Trees)
11x14, acylic on canvas

Charles focused his creative bent indoors this weekend with the heavy smoke filling the skies along the Front Range. Two paintings emerged from the studio today, both done in the heavy impasto technique. The larger of the two, was begun a couple of weeks ago but the completion was delayed due to the arrival of additional tubes of acrylic paints.

Getting busy @ Wesley House

Charles took on another project, helping to get the Wesley House @ CU spruced up for the return of campus life in a few weeks. Today's project was repainting the parking lot!

An outing in the city

 

Charles had a great time today at the “15th Annual Swinging @AIDS” Golf Benefit held at the City Park Golf Course in Denver. This event is sponsored by the Center for Health & Hope. His foursome had a respectable two under par!!

Visitors today!

 

We had a delightful time today with visitors, Mollie and Adam. We knew them from our time in western Nebraska and they were nearby this weekend, visiting family in the area.

A sale is made!

Sold!

Charles has been taking part in an exhibit with the Boulder Art Association and today was the last day. Each artist had been invited to make one 8x8 work with a "bee" theme and one with how the past year has been for that artist. Charles' small piece was bought which is quite a thrill considering there were fifty-two "bees" to choose from!
