Orange Friday

Orange Cloth

Black Friday sounds depressing so I'm changing it to Orange Friday and posting a painting called "Orange Cloth."  I painted this still life in David Shevlino's April 2012 workshop at the Easton Studio & School in Easton, Maryland.  The most important lesson I came away from David's workshop with is I  can use large brushes and still get detailed, interesting paintings.  Using a larger brush has helped me not get too bogged down in the details when I start a painting.  Now if I can just remember that rule!

MADE IN AMERICA

The Loft Gallery

I was the October (2012) Artist of the Month at the Loft Gallery, Occoquan, Va.   

Here are a couple of paintings from my show "Moments in Time" to prove do I paint more than bad mugs!  Solo shows...a great experience, nerve racking, & I love it when they are done.

Made In America

I was visiting Chicago over the July 4th weekend and couldn't resist painting these shoes I saw in a store window.  I'd have a heck of a time walking in the shoes, but I'm still trying to figure out how anyone could walk in those boots.
