Back to painting

I've been super busy trying to get the studio ready for summer classes. And I'm trying to redesign my website and.......on and on. But today there was a block of time and I remembered to get those cute little daisies from the front yard.

#17

More roses in the garden.

6" x 8" oil on canvas

3 paintings today

I completely missed the fact that it's Memorial Day week end and a lot of people are out of town. I had a wonderful model booked for the Saturday morning class and only two students showed up. Ugghhhh .

But I got to paint. These are only quick gesture paintings but the colors are dramatic because out model had hot pink hair- perfect!

#15

I ran out today to meet with new studio instructor Siri France. Didn't have time to plan a new still life but I feel they are better with each repetition. Here's my 8" x 8" oil painting. 

Also note the new studio class coming up. Portraiture! Thursday afternoons 2-5pm with a model. 

#14

Here's the next one. It was an incredibly busy week end in the studio and I didn't get a minute to even think about painting but today I did!

#13.

I found some roses on the way in to the studio.

We have an exciting schedule of classes ! Stay tuned for a new portrait class in addition to the classes already listed.

#12

I found a pink vase and had to add it to add mix. 

#11

Still gathering things from the studio and am enjoying the challenge of painting glass. 

8"x8" oil in canvas

#10 More Marbles

This will be the last of the marbles for a while. On to more items around the studio but it was good to just look at glass for a few paintings.  

8"x8". Oil on canvas.

Painting day 9

Still working with marbles.

Day 8

Not all paintings are post-able. I worked on day 8 but not something I want to publish.

Day Seven

More stuff from the studio. People brought me lemons on two separate occasions. Painting glass always requires some concentration.

Daily painting. 6

Still not bored with the blue plate and onions with garlic. Oil on canvas 8" x 8".

Keeping up with number 5

 Sometimes I put things out for students that I wish I could paint myself. In the afternoon Melissa worked on an ink drawing of this set-up. When class ended I moved it over to the painting area and painted this oil on canvas 6"x8".

Day 4

I was so tired after teaching all day I almost missed. 

Day 3

Beets are always a great colorful subject . 

Oil on canvas 6"x12"

The beginning of daily painting

Periodically I've started a practice of daily painting. It's hard to start because the beginnings are not as good as they will be in a few weeks. This is number two from yesterday because I scrapped off #1 from the day before. Oil on canvas 8" x 6".

The finished boxes!

Here is how it all turned out. If you go to Larchmont, look out for these!

New signal control box murals in Larchmont Village

I recently submitted these designs for printing. They will be installed in Larchmont Village in the next few weeks. 

This time the process is a little different. Usually I paint right on the boxes. This time the images will be printed on 3M vinyl and installed on the box and hopefully graffiti sealed. 

Will post as it goes up!
