Chilly Nude

I have joined a new group of artists who meet regularly for marathon drawing sessions in their studio. This Saturday we met and I was delighted that Meryl, who I have worked with before, would be the model. I was even more delighted when one of the artists suggested that she wear her overcoat that she donned during the breaks for our next pose. So here we have a nude who is wearing clothes. I knew then that this would be my perfect entry to the NFAC art contest. I love the irony that for this contest my nude is dressed...but still very much nude. This is my entry in the Nibblefest Art Contest, a themed art contest beginning on the 20th of each month on eBay. Please be sure to search for NFAC to see more great entries, each starting at just $0.99. The winner is the artist whose piece gets the most bids so each of your bids counts as a vote. It is a great opportunity to collect a piece of art at far below its market value.

Print of Christmas Flowers available

I placed red and white poinsettias on the windowsill of my kitchen. I loved how the lime green walls were reflected in the colors of the white poinsettias. I had a great time creating this watercolor painting. The original is in a private collection.

Portraits in Progress

Here is a portrait I am working on. I never know if it is truly done until the client sees it and says yes that is my child. I especially like the way the expression on the little girl turned out. It captured her precociousness perfectly.

I do all my portraits in watercolor. I am told that is the hardest to do ( for portraits) but it is all I know.
