After a brief respite with travels to New York City for a YANKEES baseball game...watching #2 play in his last season and a trip to Chicago to do some portrait painting I am back and trying to get in a couple more 30 in 30 paintings done before the challenge is over!  

This is the flag carrying ceremony as the games were about to begin.  The teams are all color coded and theoretically we all remember our colors from high school and join in the team spirit!  It was great fun with lots of antics...as you can imagine.  BUT...what goes on at the ISB reunions STAYS at the ISB reunions!

I am continuing my 30 paintings in 30 days series.  I have painted every day but not posted every day.  Part of my challenge is to post only those paintings that I am happy with...and I have not been happy with a couple so...a couple of days were skipped.  THIS portrait, however, was so fun!  I just love her hair and what a great attitude.  Many thanks to Peppy Doggett for letting me use your fabulous photograph.

As I have said time and time again...and will continue to say for the rest of the month the reunion for the International School of Bangkok was wonderful.  Games were organized...I use the term organized very loosely!!!  Twister was great fun to watch.  I almost named this piece Bottoms Up!!!

30 paintings in 30 days continues!!

Mr Reeves - International School of Bangkok Thailand all classes reunion

Mr Reeves

8 x 10

Oil on Raymar panel

$150

Today's 30 in 30 painting is a quick sketch of Mr. Reeves.  During his time at the International School of Bangkok Mr Reeves shaped many lives...he taught more than just science.  His students always make sure he attends the reunions and make sure he is well taken care of.  

This one was painted on a medium gray background.  I usually paint on white, but loved the way this gray color affected my skin tones.  So fun to experiment and these quick paintings are the perfect time to stretch myself.

You've Got a Friend - International School of Bangkok reunion challenge

You've Got a Friend

10 x 10

International School of Bangkok 30 in 30 Challenge

$150

As I said this was my first ISB reunion.  One thing I noticed is that once you enter the building, you've got a friend.  The camaraderie this groups shows is unbelievable.  I had seen it on Facebook, but to see it in person is heartwarming.  Old friends, new acquaintances and friendly faces everywhere I looked.  It was great fun.

This is part of the Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 challenge.
