Fresh Paint

I'm currently working on a scarecrow for my favorite season, Fall!  This one began life as a watercolor and now currently as a grisaille underpainting...

Florida Museum of Women Artists- 2011 Juried Show

I have been fortunate enough to be accepted in the 2011 Juried Show at the FLORIDA MUSEUM OF WOMEN ARTISTS in Deland, Florida. Along with many other talented women artists, I'll be at the opening this Friday from 5-7:00 p.m. I hope you'll stop by if you are in the area, or view the exhibit, which will be from Sept 10-October 23, 2011.  "American Summer", which is my depiction of a sunburned, rubenesque beauty jumping into a pool, is the accepted painting. I'm very honored.

A quick sketch

If you haven't noticed yet, MY SUBJECT INTERESTS ARE DIVERSE!
Regardless, I believe, no, I know, that drawing is at the heart of the matter!
If you don't spend time drawing and studying from life you will never fully evolve
as an artist, no matter your subject. I could be wrong, but I know many who agree.
Even I realize, it's time to start getting back to some life drawing classes!
I've been taking too long of a break! More to come, soon, I hope!


and below...one more sketch for a painting I'm starting....
