Happy St. Patrick's Day! I've been remiss in posting on this blog lately but I assure you, I have been making art ... or attempting to do so. In winter, I tend to focus on painting still-lifes and figures from life model sessions. I hope to capture my subject's unique essence in a short period of time and the models often move but I try to stick to what struck me in the original pose. For those interested, here are a few works in progress which are nearly complete.
In my studio ...sunflowers 24x18", dahlias 14"x11"
Men can be beautiful too! Loved the graceful way our model posed
(finishing right side of canvas/patches on figure)
24x18"
"Elizabeth in Repose" charcoal drawing, 17x14"
...Oh yeah, I was in the newspaper yesterday. Here's a link to fun portrait I did quite a while ago:
Duluth News Tribune Life Section. I love to paint portraits of people and animals ... and it pays for more paint supplies/painting trips, so let me know if you'd like me to paint one for you.
Top of the afternoon to ya!
Quin
