The conversation was about how excited we both are to see what is released at the CHA in Anaheim this week, I'm sure it'll be wonderful stuff! I did my face on a piece of watercolor paper and used the same materials as Ann. Pan Pastels, magic pencil, Derwent Watercolour pencils and a couple of left over flowers. For a stencil I used Julie Fei-Fan Balzer's TCW 3/4 face stencil.
Renee Zarate's Bolton House is still in New England but Renee herself has moved on to South Carolina. The days are a little different now, no garden to take care of means more studio time. Dealing with snow and blizzards will be a thing of the past but there will be new challenges. Challenges like...how will we ever carry these two chairs and this huge umbrella down to the beach? Stay tuned.

Making Faces with Ann
My friend Ann ventured out into the cold weather to come for a visit today. We usually do some art projects when she comes over and today was no exception. We both decided we needed to work on our FACES. Well, not OURS, but the ones we draw in our journals. Here is what Ann came up with using the Jane Davenport face stencil, Pan Pastels and gesso.
Before we knew it she had to go. What a nice way to spend a morning! I hope this finds you all healthy and warm, it is still really chilly here. Thanks for stopping by, take care ~ Renee
