New figure painting. Next month there will be a figure-themed show at
Gallery 1261 , and this one will
be in it.
Not many stage photos of this one. Sometimes I forget when I'm in the
zone.

See that empty spot on the palette? I quickly realized that I wasn't
going to be using any reds in this painting, so I omitted my alizarin
crimson and cadmium red.
(For the curious: From L-R: Ivory Black, Phthalo Blue, Ultramarine
Blue, [Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red] Cadmium Orange, Burnt Umber, Raw
Umber, Yellow Ocher, Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Lemon, Titanium White.
These are Griffin Alkyds, and I'm using Neo Megilp medium. I've been
alternating between alkyds and traditional oils. Both have their
advantages. Alkyds dry very fast, sometimes convenient for particular
painting effects and for quick delivery to a venue. Traditional oils
dry slower, allowing for longer wet-into-wet painting, which I mostly
enjoy. I have noticed that the alkyds offer inferior opacity when I
want that. Particularly noticeable in thick passages of red, orange,
yellow placed over a dark. Weaker color content? I'm not sure. In other
ways, the alkyds are very vibrant. Traditional oils are more forgiving
and versatile, so I would always recommend those to a student. I love
both.)

Two of my muses in one painting. I like how this turned out.
This painting debuts in March at Gallery 1261's figurative show!
Details on that show are pending.

Speaking of Gallery 1261, this month's group exhibition will have a
sizable gang of my paintings, freshly shipped! Keep an eye on the
Gallery 1261 Events Page in
the coming days to see a preview of the whole show. It is sure to be a
spectacular one. The quality of artists in this show is ... just ...
ridiculous. As per usual for 1261.
