Pookie

2008-07-05T16:48:00.004-04:00

Can you believe this guy's name is Pookie? His mama majored in irony. Another fantastic model at the Southern Atelier where Charlie Miano finds the best models in Sarasota county.

Swimmers

2008-07-05T16:41:00.003-04:00

This is a new work in progress. It's my daughter and her cousins in the pool. Here I go...

Rolando 2

2008-07-05T16:26:00.003-04:00

This is actually today's painting and I'm up to speed. Yippee! Rolando is such a great model and role model as well. On his breaks, he does various and sundry stomach crunches and believe me, it shows. Sorry I didn't highlight those abs Rolando. I'm working on those values and I'm trying to achieve subtlety.

Chelsea and Me

2008-07-05T16:21:00.004-04:00

This is another painting in progress. I posted it a while back in a different stage. I still have to tweak the baby's face a bit and now I see I have to darken her belly too.

Green Glass with Fruit

2008-07-05T16:17:00.002-04:00

This is almost done I hope. It seems like I keep repainting everything, but I think I'm going to add some color to the glass and background and call it done. It will be like a weight lifted off my shoulders for some reason.

Cynthia

2008-07-05T16:15:00.003-04:00

This is my very sophisticated and charming neighbor who was lovely enough to come over and sit for me. Thanks Cynthia.

Orchid

2008-07-05T16:09:00.004-04:00

One of the great things about Florida is the plants. I have a large and often untidy garden and I'm getting used to what thrives and how to care for these semi-tropical treasures. This plant lives on my kitchen table and gives me daily pleasure.
5x7" on stretched canvas. $100.00 plus s/h.

Rolando 1

2008-07-05T15:49:00.003-04:00

The painting was tilted when I shot it, so there's a little white showing. I can't face going back outside to shoot again. Florida sun - very hot!

About March I think. I'm trying to put these up in order. My blogger is working great! (I hope I don't jinx it!) Earlier this year I had tons of trouble and frustration and I kept forgetting my password, etc...

Ray the Elder

2008-07-05T15:38:00.003-04:00

I was struggling with this and just started messing around with the pallette knife, in panic mode as it were, but then it turned around.

This study was from a 2 1/2 hour session. I'm trying to develop speed, accuracy and simplicity.

Molly

2007-02-25T18:11:00.000-05:00

I monitor a portrait class at Art Center Manatee and I just started running a figure class as well. Heaven! I'm really pushing my speed and decision making by painting rather than drawing. This was the first night I painted. I'm really looking forward to this week.

Red Hat Lady

2007-02-25T18:06:00.000-05:00

I've painted this model many times before I found out she's an artist too. She painted her scarf, which I didn't do justice to, but I got the colors right. I can't remember her name.

Cowboy Ray

2007-02-25T18:02:00.000-05:00

This study shows Ray's lovely personality. In a perfect world I would have painted him again to finish, but I like the way his head came out.

Gloria

2007-02-25T17:52:00.000-05:00

This is Gloria again on day 3. This painting is more flattering and looks more like the model.

Gloria

2007-02-25T17:45:00.000-05:00

This study was done on day 2 of the workshop. Painted in an hour, which as I said in my last entry is amazing for me.

Head Study

2007-02-25T17:21:00.000-05:00

This is a 20 minute study I did in a Robert Liberace workshop. The workshop was terrific, just what I needed. Before the workshop, I was feeling stuck in my painting. I was trying too hard, I think. I had slowed way down. I feel my biggest challenge in painting is getting the values right and I was obsessing with every stroke. Anyway, the first day of the workshop we painted 15 and 20 minute studies. This made the act primal, fierce and really fun. Something clicked for me that had been missing in my process for the longest time. I feel like I got back some of that fearlessness and immediacy I had as a student.

This painting is $100.00 plus s/h.

Thank you!

I've been gone a long time. I got distracted with working and preparing for the upcoming holidays. I find my perfectionists side reemerging. Back, back I say! Although I'm not sure what I mean by that. Happy holidays everyone! Hi Michael.

Sue 7x9"

2006-11-22T19:51:00.000-05:00

This painting is $100.00 plus s/h.

I've had the luxury for the past year to paint instead of work. We moved to Florida under the mistaken belief that its cheaper to live here than New York. Not true. My husband and I agreed that when we moved, he'd earn our daily bread and allow me to pursue my painting, which he has. A year and a few months later reality is rearing it's goofy head and barking at me, you have to get a job! I've been subbing, but I don't think that's gonna do it. So, hi ho, hi ho. it's back to teaching I go. At least it's a rewarding and often fun profession.

Lately though, just knowing I 'm going back has turned me all around and I've hardly been painting. I've also been stressed by the constant worry of trying to get a good painting everyday and I'm a slow painter, so sometimes these 5x7's take me all day. (I've been trying to work on speed.)I'm going to try to keep on painting every day because I've learned so much in the past couple of months , but I don't expect to post everyday anymore. I'm going to do my best.

Puppy in the Garden 5x5"

2006-11-06T17:18:00.000-05:00

This painting is $50.00 plus s/h.

Thank you!

This painting is a copy of a miniature paper sculpture one of my favorite students made for me. It was based on a project we did in class called puppy in the garden. The project included some simple origami and paper sculpture. Andrea was in second grade when she made it and now she's in college. I've always loved this gift. Unfortunately it's starting to fall apart. This is the second time I've painted it.

I did this goofy still life in colored pencil about 8 or 9 years ago. As you can see the little paper sculpture has faded considerably. I was generous with the color this time around. Thank you Andrea where ever you are for still inspiring me to do my best!
