be shocked to see a second post in a matter of days.. I am. However, there is a good reason for it!

I will be doing two demonstrations at the Eastside Artist Collaborative (EAC Studio) in February.

The first demo (Feb 15) will focus on drawing the portrait. For the following demonstration (Feb 22), I will share my approach to painting the portrait. Maybe I'll see you there?

quick one to share. So far I've kept up with my weekly goal (4 of 52 - still a long way to go!).

My dear friend Pat (a talented painter, in his own right) has been generous enough to sit for me on numerous occasions (don't be too surprised if you see him on here again at some point). I always feel inspired after spending time with him - painting, as we enjoy endless cups of coffee and share a sense of awe regarding our consciousness within this crazy universe. Cheers to Pat!

new year!

i've decided to challenge myself with a 52 week project of painting just as many alla prima paintings. Painting quickly has intimidated me for long enough!

It will also be a good exercise in letting go, of which I am also in need.

This being said, I am (realistically) expecting to turn out some clunkers, so I probably won't post them all. But I'll do my best and try to keep posting when I have success.

Again, a happy 2014 to all - I hope it is an inspired year, full of beauty & light.
