| Dear Subscribers, Greetings! Lots of new stuff this week. Thanks for all your continued support. I hope you enjoy reading these newsletters as much as I enjoy writing them! It's fun to share, but more importantly it helps to crystallize where my art's at ...letting me see what I need to work on and where I want to go next. So, thank you! The new painting "Equipoise" (36x18) is finished and up on the website!  Next I'd like to do a figure painting that's more subtle in color...more tonal and monochromatic, and well-lit from a single source. I have a blank panel this size....maybe I'll do a horizontal composition. Oh, the possibilities.... Started a new still-life. Below is the setup:  I blocked it in and started concentrating on the pitcher...it has this warm dust/dirt around the middle that I wanted to play up.  ...and the apple...  I decided I didn't like the apple...I wanted to have the changing warms/cools of the pitcher really stand out. I replaced it with a spoon!  This still-life is almost done. The pitcher and cup need some more work. I'll have the finished product for you next week! To be continued.... And now a figure painted at school from a life model, "Study of Seated Redhead" (24x12). This was painted over the past 3 Friday afternoons. Forgot to take pics of the stages....nuts!  Here is a portrait bust sculpted from life that I've been working on. (water clay)     Until next week, David A. N.
