Still-life w/ Blue Hydrangea

Demo

I was asked to do a demonstration for SCAN (The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown). I was given 90 minutes to talk and paint. It was fun and there were plenty of intelligent questions. In the fall, I will be teaching a Still Life Painting Class and as of last week it was sold out.

2008 Painting on Monhegan

This photo was taken on my July 2008 trip to Monhegan Island by David and Grace, Thanks guys. I usually wear a long sleeve shirt over a t-shirt. It blocks the suns rays from my skin and the left shoulder doubles as a paint rag, as I occasionally wipe my finger on it. Also I'm wearing "painters pants". Well, the painting does have a house in it!

Monhegan Dump

This is a painting of the Monhegan Dump. All kinds of burnable waste awaits it's firery fate. I found this 10' high mound amusing and wanted to paint it. I was running short of canvas and noticed a door panel in the trash and thought, "Perfect, a panel to paint on from the subject of the painting!"
