Winter Tour a Huge Success!

Witness Carol Schiff and Carmen Beecher getting ready for customers. We had spiffy postcards, invited friends and clients, and advertized on WFIT. Even in the rain, people found us and bought art at fabulous prices. Everything fit into Carol's garage for this one day special sale.

Beach Pairs Continues

This is the second installment of my second Beach Pairs paintings. I am continuing work on it this week and it has gone through several changes. Stay tuned for more!

Strawbridge Art League Demo

Still another in the Beach Pairs series this subject and her dog appear to be searching in total harmony. What for? sea glass, shells ? It can be anything the viewer wants it to be.

This is a 36 by 48 canvas which was taken to this point of near completion in under 2 hours after a week of planning and several thumbnail studies.

It will need hours more fine tuning work

Painting Vacation in North Carolina

My painting group, the Pieces of 8 get together each year for a grand week of plein air and cullinary delights including bread made daily by Carol. We come home a few pounds heavier and chock full of inspiration to carry us through the year.

Update on Winston and Emma

I think the pups are ready to go to their new home. No, it's not the White House, but close enough in Georgetown. Could this be the most popular breed in America today?

Burt Silverman Workshop

This painting started in Easton, Md. My friends talked me into taking a workshop at the Academy of the Arts. The rooms were packed and we had several models. I think this gal was a local art teacher. Anyway, I went off in a corner and started working, finishing before anyone else. Head down, I tried not to call any attention from Mr. Silverman. I had watched his morning demo with total awe. I was discovered and he asked for permission to make s few adjustments. I had all the right colors, all the body parts were in the right place but had failed to make the work less complicated and painterly. He took care of all that with some well-calculated strokes. Notice that the painting is unsigned. It's a personal favorite.
