She's beginning to take shape after little sessions—

most of them in Jody Thompson's class at SouthGate Studio.

Angel in Progress

In the works from Jody's class at SouthGate Studio, an angel in stone.  The Chestnut Group had a paint out on New Year's Day at Mt. Olivet Cemetery.  Being the day after New Year's Eve, I didn't get up and out very early.  By the time I did, it was so windy and cold that I thought arming myself with the camera would be my best bet.  This is from a photo taken from the car (I'm such a wimp) of a beautiful monument bathed in sunlight.  This is the preliminary painting and becoming much tighter as time goes on.
