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.

Update on Barbarella Blue Painting

Portraits provide a permanent visual reminder of the ties between the generations of your family, expressing the emotional connection between you, your ancestors and your descendants. Long after photographs have faded, portraits remain.

Portrait update

Madelyn's portrait still needs a lot of work, but there is joy in the journey.

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.

Interesting email

I received this email from a lady:

"Hello, I've seen the painting you did of the buggy driver with two mules... As a fun side note, the driver in your painting is my husband, Dave and the "white" mule" is Blue. Dave and Blue are training a new mule here, and together they have trained over 50 mules within a 5 year time span. Dave is also the first driver of a team rig within the city of New Orleans since the 1940's. You have captured a very special moment in your art and I want to thank you for it. When Dave first saw this, he was as a complete loss for words. And as a tour guide for over 15 years, I can tell you THAT rarely happens!"

A simple still-life of common objects can reveal the artist's love of color and his passion for the medium he or she uses.  In my studio are many such objects, I see them almost everyday.  In appreciation of the art of creating art this painting came to be.
