Randy Higbee Gallery 6" Squared Exhibit

I just sent this little 6x6 inch painting off to the Randy Higbee Gallery's 6" Squared Exhibition. It had 1200 entrees so I am glad to have been in the accepted batch.

Bella Figura

One of my figure drawing group pals and I had a two person show celebrating the "Bella Figura" (beautiful figure). It was an Italian themed reception since Robert Roselli is an Italian chef as well as an artist. We had a delicious reception. The show was a group effort by my friends at the Arizona Artists Guild. Tess and Mark were especially hard working for our show. Josie encouraged Robert and I to have the show. It was a lot of fun to see the paintings of the figure I have done the past year or so all together. It was fun to celebrate with so many friends.

Haunted Art!

Here is a fun bit of news. I did a painting for a new show "Cursed" that will be on the Bio station. It airs starting October 4th. I am not sure when the painting will be on. My painting is in an episode with a haunted house. The painting mysteriously falls on someone and they end up being hurt! I haven't seen the show yet but here is the painting I did for it.

Painting City Skies

Been painting a bunch of big canvases all week of city skies. Here are two.

Figure Painting with a Touch of Collage

I added a little collage element to my figure painting session this week.

Dripping Paint

Tuesday I painted the model and had this olive greenish gray behind her. It was fairly true to what I saw but was not really adding to the painting. I've been doing a lot of abstracts lately and dripping paint on those a lot. I pulled out a nice loaded wet brush of a blue and let it drip..made the exact right change to that background color.

Painting Sara in a Hat

Glad to see Sara posing for us the other day. She put on a hat and scarf for us. It was fun trying to catch the shadow and light that fell on her face because of it.
