Hi,
My load page was buried on my computer. :)
LOL
So here is this weeks Paintings from the week of 22nd of June
My painting from Photograph is coming along. I still have trouble with skin, I would think with all the life drawing that I have been doing this would not be a problem. I should be able to create something.
To cut my self some slack I have more experince with adults, second it's difficult to paint or draw a family member.
Knowing this I did start with a sketch.
Peace
Have a good week

Hi Thanks for visiting my blog and to my friends in Spain.
I took Monday off to celebrate Terry's birthday with him
I will show a painting that I had done a few weeks ago and forgot to post.
On Wednesday nights I'm in charge of opening and getting the drawing group going, also we are in the middle of a big fundraiser for our group. Real People 2008 Celebrating Faces and Figures Thru the Arts is a national juried show, so lots needs to be done. I suspect that the next few weeks will be hectic. I managed to do one painting.
Today I worked on a painting from a photo, I have trouble with this, but I need to learn to do it.
Nothing like painting from life............
I will post them Friday, since all my photos this evening turned out too dark. Not enough light.
I have been working on a personal film for many years and I think I have an idea for the ending.
Yea...but it has to wait until fall, by then I should be moved in to my new studio space.
Peace

This was the week of the 15th of June
Hope you enjoy, I sure did. Very busy but also prolific.
I'm struggling with style, I have been told to just paint even the gestures to gain a style.

Only if I could make the brush sing like the pastels and charcoal in my gestures.
My goal for how ever long it takes.

Have a good week.
Peace

Welcome

Welcome and thank you for taking a look at my current work.
The plan is to post once or twice a week the work that I have done during that period.
This will help keep my friends and family apprised of my work
I have a film and animation background, so painting is somewhat a new adventure for me.
Have a good week
Peace
