Painting workshop at the Salmagundi Club, New York with Sherrie McGraw - May 2012.

At the Salmagundi Club with my good friend, Mary Sauer.

Thursday night drawing class at the Art Students League with Gregg Kreutz.

A recent painting for the Beaux Arts Annual Fundrasier at the Scottsdale Artists' School, November 12, 2011.

sketch of Profile Head of a Young Woman, Leopold Carl Müller (Austrian, 1834-1892), Walters Museum of Art

These paintings are extremely small in scale, and their frames are made from left over molding.

This was a 3 week pose we did in October at the Zoll Studio's open session. I wish I could have had maybe one more session to smooth out some of the color. It looks a little "patchy" to me. Although, I do like the spontaneity my brushstrokes have when painting from life.

This painting is 36" x 48" in its entirety.

I worked on this head painting in two sessions from life at the Zoll Studio in Timonium, Maryland. Molly, the model, was excellent to work from.

The reference I had for this painting was really great, but I found myself struggling with color temperature. I think it ended up alright, but it was definitely a challenge. I had a lot of fun with reflected light.

Jazmyn

This is a head study for a larger painting I'm doing of Jazmyn playing the piano. I'm especially trying to get the values right here.

These are my favorite kind of apples. They are tiny and they cost 25 cents at Wegman's. Tiny apples make great for a tiny painting.
