This is the latest model from Rosetti Gallery class with
Rob Saunders teaching. She is a lovely, long, lean quiet
girl.

I'm taking a class at the Museum of Art of Ft. Lauderdale and this is the first time I have painted a nearly full figure of a live model.

Controversy 2012

2012-02-15T11:42:00.000-08:00

This is the piece I will enter in the new Broward Art Guild show: Controversy
I recently watched the video of Dennis Rodman being inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame
and was so moved that I felt I wanted to show that this man who has often placed himself
in the public eye as a controversial figure is after all a child of God. That is why I didn't put
any of the tattoos or jewelry on him but showed him simply as God made him.

This lovely model/dancer held this smile for three hours with only three short breaks!

Twelve by 12

2012-02-02T05:56:00.001-08:00

These are the paintings I'm submitting to the Twelve by 12 show at ArtServe.
All pieces have to be no larger that 12" by 12", including frame. These are done
on wooden panels so no frame is needed and are already the right size. I did
one with the subject to the far right, one to the far left and one in the middle.
All are young men in my world...with my son in the middle. He plays Ultimate
Frisbee and this was from a photo taken at UPA Club Championships in 2008 in
Sarasota, FL.. Painting hair is one of my favorite parts of a portrait. This
one was fun, especially since the other two had little or no hair showing except
for the facial hair. All in all these were very rewarding and when I look at them
all lined up together it thrills me. I can see my progress and it fills me up with
gratitude.

This is my first attempt at critters. Jake is a rescued dog of friends of ours. I like the regal pose
he struck here. It is still a work in progress but I like the way it's coming along.

Frankie and Serafima

2011-12-07T11:37:00.000-08:00

Frankie Curran is my dear friend who is a constant source of new info and ideas. He was my
entre into the Miami show last week and inspires and encourages me every time I drag my
work in to the store to show him. He is an incredibly generous soul. I am grateful to know him.

Serafima Sokolov is another of the smiling folks at Utrecht's
who offers support and encouragement. The three of us were in the show. Carlos, another dear from the store, is not in the picture because he was kind enough to take it. I'll catch him next time.
