Amelie helps with the big Art decisions

August 18, 2010 by ErinHill Sketching

It’s good to have someone to talk to when you are deciding what to paint next. Should I start that Cafe de Flore one or should I get onto the half finished stack? Or to heck with it all and go drawing somewhere. This is where Amelie our Shi-itzu. Now 9 years of age and a very supportive companion, comes in. She always gives me her views. Never complains, never answers back, and listens politely if a painting is going […]

Studio coming along, but will it work to share?

August 4, 2010 by ErinHill Sketching

The track system is now up so have stacked the walls with everything formerly on the floor. Managed to get that olive/grey wall done so that the white track would sit nicely at the top, and I wouldn’t have to paint around it. The whole studio looks so fresh and bright. People are stopping to come and see what I’m doing now. The front window shows from the street as cars go by, so it’s obvious that it’s an art […]

Studio Takes Shape

July 16, 2010 by ErinHill Sketching

I just love it already. No running water yet. No shelving or storage yet. No work tables yet. Nothing on the walls yet. All coming soon. However the important thing was to establish that this studio is taking shape. There are paintings on easels in the window and a box of greeting cards. This establishes what I do. The windows have been cleaned and I’ve polished up the dull old brass door handle and street numbers. But the coffee is […]

Baby it’s Cold Outside

December 12, 2009 by ErinHill Sketching

The colours are still lovely in Berkeley, even though it is cold as heck, and raining. I went to the Blue Guerilla cafe and did some drawing (with a normal sized cup of coffee – I have trained them) It was nice listening to the chatter as I sketched the Still Life on the table. I have purchased a portable watercolour set, so I will add some paint when the light is better. I saw a squirrel on Vine St […]

Great Art in Florence

October 29, 2009 by ErinHill Sketching

Dome Mural Not all the great art of Florence is in the magnificent galleries. I have yet to even scratch the surface of the treasures to be seen. But here is the Disney Shop in the shopping precinct I was thrilled to see the dome painted with this ode to Mickey and Minnie Mouse. It was truly awe inspiring. In fact I got a crick in my neck. This is the window display of the same shop. Everything is art […]
