Regina Atwood: This is a fun way to see everyone’s art in one place! Can’t wait to get out and paint with you all. Title: Steven’s Meadow
Sarah Bachhuber Peroutka: At home
Jeanie Bates: No text
Celeste Bergin: Here is a painting of me and Daisy in our favorite big chair. I painted it for today's prompt. I painted it over an old painting. I like the texture showing through. When I had a chance to do a Monotype at OSA I used my two cats for my design. It's pretty schmaltzy, but let's face it, I love them to bits and they definitely represent "home". I often paint in our backyard. There is a broken down fence back there that needs to be fixed. Finally, if we are talking about home, I have to include Dave (who I draw nearly every day. He is a really good sport about it).
Marti Brandtner: My Home Body Protectors, Finished 30" ×30" acrylic. It's been a long road, but so worth it as I LOVE THESE DOGS Gunner and Rue

Joanne Kollman: “Home” The late afternoon light streaming across the front yard last Friday. 20x24”. Tony at home, one of my favorite “in the house paintings”.. Painting #3 is from my archives (I got Tony to wear a costume and be my model in the back yard).
Bhavani Krishnan: Home is where the heart is and my heart belongs in the mountains. I've always loved hiking. Growing up in India, hiking was not that common but I would fight with my mom until she would let me go hiking (in the Sahyadri mountains). Being stuck at home now, I'm living vicariously through my past travels. This one is a 16x20 from Waterton Lakes NP.

Laughter forever and skies never grey.
But when I'm silent, free from all care
I discover my home's everywhere."

Mike Porter: Greeting cards - in gouache for a change. Who will be the lucky recipients of these potentially valuable works of art? Here's a piece I did yesterday with the reference photo taken at Steve Grice’s farm last spring. I did a workup color study, a charcoal value sketch like Yong Hong Zhong preaches...all well and good. Studio work from the last two days...3 color studies then I gave painting these peonies a go. A question comes to mind...if I'm doing studies when is the final exam?
Kathy Pugh: Painting the apple blossoms
Cathleen Rehfeld Meyers: This is what I’ve been up to lately— gouache ! 2x4” Desert Tree, gouache on illustration board.
Debra Renard: Home "backyard" Watercolor on Arches
Donna Sanson: "All Hallways Lead To The Kitchen," oil pastel on watercolor paper. I drew this last night while everyone was fast asleep and the house was dark and quiet. No matter the time of day, or night, the place we always seem most at home is the kitchen.

The black & white drawing I posted last week is of the same tree. It’s fun to work on the same subject in different ways .
Kristina Sellers: I really pieced this together from several references. I cannot seem to get my own English garden to grow, so it's a bit of dream fulfillment.
Jessi Sevy: People said your home is where your heart is. These two are taking a lot of room in there. They spent their days with me in the studio as long as I'm there, regardless where the rest of the family members are. They wake up in my face, and are the last ones I say goodnight to before I go to bed every night

Linda Sprau: This acrylic on canvas is titled “ Crossing at Cater Rd”. The painting is done from a current photo of Cater Rd and Scappoose Vernonia Hwy showing a steam train on what is now the Crown Zellerbach bike trail (linear park). The logging Railroad that used to be on the trail was The Portland Southwestern which was abandoned in 1944.
Sarah Stroud: I'm going to be in a painting show for a weekend with some friends. With the quarantine and everything, the show is postponed to an unknown date, and I haven't had much time to work on them (I've been working on other pressing things). I finally got some sketches out on the boards.
Jim Syfert: This weeks subject - Home. Charcoal sketch of the not very exotic backyard.
/Spent some time this late afternoon looking for something in my photos from my travels to paint. This was taken last summer in Northern Idaho on our way to visit friends in Alberta. Probably needs some work but I am going to call it a day. 8x10 oil. Stay healthy everyone.
Joanne Thorpe: Playing around with some little 8 x 8s this week. Not sure if they are done yet. I enjoy them so much that I bought 2 more 6 packs. That’ll keep me busy for a while.
Kathy Towne: The first is a commissioned piece, painted for a couple of the view from their vacation “home”. The second piece is for my husband, of the Three Sisters. Bill and I have three daughters, so it’s also a symbol of our home. Both were painted in my home. /Today, I painted a portrait of my daughter, Kelsey. Family is such a great reminder that “home” is about those we love.
Loretta Unger: Here is a sketch of my special cat Kismet, always in my heart. Here too is an "indoor-outdoor" painting that says home to me.
Bonny Wagoner: For this weeks prompt "Home". We are trying to get garden ready for planting and the forever battle with weeds that I haven't had much time for painting this week. I am posting something from my archives. I named this "Thoughts of Home" and it's a 16" x 20" colored pencil drawing. I have something in the works I can post for next week (I think).
Elo Wobig: I try to go on my walks through the neighborhood as often as possible. Since we don’t have access to parks and scenic areas, I’m finding the beauty in the everyday scenes. I was returning on my walk when the globes of dandelion seeds were glowing with the early evening light. I wanted to convey that ethereal quality in painting them. I feel this dandelion represents how we can best cope during the pandemic social distancing. We are given opportunities to look at our everyday, mundane lives with fresh eyes. We are learning to appreciate what we have, enjoy simplicity, find contentment, be grateful rather than reaching for something we don’t have.
8x10 oil / The second and third photos are some sketches I did at home since the theme of this week is home. One of my kitchen where I spend too much time. The other is quick sketches of my son while he’s fixated on his iPad. He’s rather squirmy and I was constantly chasing his postures.
Kathy Wright Apenes “home”
Tim Young: 16x12 acrylic Experiment with purple, yellow and white painted during the Alla Prima Portland Zoom meeting 12x16 Acrylic / Dear Scully / Ballpoint pen on multimedia paper Dining room.
Vicki Zimmerman: I am always grateful for my home studio especially at this time. For years when I painted at home I had to clean up everything each time I worked. This studio is MY place even though it is sometimes chaotic.
Yong Hong Zhong: Another sketch around my neighborhood. I went outside my house to get some fresh air and painted my neighbor's front yard.
