CUBA 2017 PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP

NEW WORK:

I have been very remiss in posting my new work and am trying to rectify that by making weekly posts as a part of my schedule.

The works below are my latest pieces I have completed this summer and I feel represent me the best.  I have gotten into nocturnals and sunrise/sunsets as well as trying to expand my palette a bit.  Hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them!

The two below were painting based on my trip to Farindola, Italy this summer.  I am planning on doing a posting of that trip so stay tuned and learn more about my adventure.

ON THE WAY TO GEORGE'S #4

This painting is number four in a series I have been working on based on my travels to the New England area this past summer.  I made the paintings as a way of reconnecting with my love of the Northeast, in particular Vermont, Massachusetts and Upstate New York.  #oilpainting #landscapepainting #newengland

ON THE WAY TO GEORGE'S SERIES

I have been painting some studio pieces that were inspired by my trip this past summer to Cambridge, MA to visit George Van Hook.  Having lived in Vermont prior to to moving to Florida, I really miss the charm of the northeast landscape.

CLASS DEMO'S

I enjoy doing class demonstrations.  They are not labored and express a spontaneity that is produced in the process that amazes me. It is like, in twenty minutes max you have produced something that is fairly realistic but at the same time has a freedom of application that other planned pieces just do not have.

50/50 EVENT AT THE ARMORY ART CENTER

The painting below was done at the Armory Art Centers fundraising event called 50/50 in West Palm  Beach.  Fifty Artists who get 50% commission on their painting that is sold in the auction.  You have 2 hours to complete your painting, and this includes setup and take down,  that is on a 16x20 canvas that is provided.  So you really are a bit stressed when you paint and of course people talking to you as you paint which eats up time also.  I think it is really fun, as well as challenging.
