Kylie & her portrait

Signed, sealed, delivered.

Kylie's photoshoot was done over a year ago, she grew a lot since I last saw her.

Seeing the faces of the family when I deliver a painting is so much fun. I would like my art and my life to brighten the corner of a small place in this world each day. I love painting children, they inspire me with their sweet spirits & purity of heart. May we all become like children with a heart that is pure and full of love to share with others around us.

Madelyn's Portrait

It’s the light and dark values in relationship to each other and the simplified massing of values that play such an important role in a composition’s design. In addition, those light and dark value relationships impact the quality of light and “luminosity” in a work, as well as strengthening an illusion of space, and atmosphere.

Scandalous Artist

Caravaggio was know to use prostitutes as models, as in this painting of the death of Mary (mother of Jesus). circa1606 It was documented that the painting was rejected by the patron who commissioned it because of that - or the other reason for rejection might have been because of the improper manner in how Mary was depicted.  

It can be seen at the Louve in Paris.

Michelangelo

When it was unveiled a proud Michelangelo stood by and watched as people admired the beautiful Pieta. However, what was pride quickly turned into anger as he overheard a group of people attributing the work to other artists of his time. That anger caused Michelangelo to add one last thing to his sculpture. Going down the sash on the Virgin Mary, Michelangelo carved his name. He later regretted that his emotions got the best of him and vowed to never sign another one of his works again.

Interesting Art History

"Orange, Red, Yellow" is a 1961 color field painting by Mark Rothko.It sold at Christies for $86,882,500 on May 8, 2012. Dominique de Menil (the patron of his last mural painting) once said that Rothko's paintings evoke the tragic mystery of our perishable condition.  The silence of God, the unbearable Silence of God."

Personally I don't understand abstract art but find people's interpretations of it very interesting.

Busy day in the studio

I'm working on many sets of armoire panels.
