Dear Subscribers,

Greetings!

Great news this week. The Salon International 2010 (at Greenhouse
Gallery  ) awards
presentation took place on Friday night, and was judged by legendary
portraitist Everett Raymond Kinstler. My painting, "Blue Goblet"

, received Honorable Mention for Artistic Excellence!!! Woot!

 
In light of the struggling economy, I decided it would be a good idea to
start painting some miniatures. New category added to the website, with
three new paintings!!:
 Minis 
 

New mini: "Calla Lilies & Tangerine"
  (6x6 on panel):

 
 

New mini: "Bloom"
  (6x6
on panel):

  

New mini: "Peach & Turps"
  (6x6 on panel):

 
 

These were all painted "alla prima", and were a total blast. There's
something very nice about being constrained to a tiny area. Definitely
more to come.

Figure sketch from life model. This is vine charcoal on bristol vellum:

"Bloom" and "Peach & Turps"...I guess minis are a good idea! ;)

Until next week,
