One attention seeking kitty and one lovely costumed lady. Another image from the Tilbury event in Kingston. The model made the beautiful Victorian styled dress she was wearing. Impressive!

Day 298 Victoria and Tea

About a month ago I had a great opportunity to collect some photo reference
for future paintings at the Tilbury event in Kingston. This is a terrific event where models dress up in period costume and hold a pose for everyone to photograph or paint. I have to say I got some terrific photos. Over all it was a blast! I painted this in Ned's class. You can probably tell where he added his touch. :) If I end up working on it some more I will repost it.

On a breathtakingly beautiful spring morning I packed up my gear
and headed for downtown Snohomish. There is a "sweet spot" there
full of Victorian homes and flowers. I was a little too early for most of
the flowers. Thank goodness for plum trees! I found this very charming,
two hundred and twenty five year old home to paint.
For us in the Northwest that is a really old home.
