Summer 2011

In July, I finished the last of my 8 paintings from the “8 Portrait Peaces” project. A 3.5 years journey and so much has happened during that time. A detail of “Molly and Zoe” is on the right. The painting is on display (and for sale) at The Brill Gallery along with 3 other paintings. A fantastic review of the show was just published in Artscope Magazine.

Fall 2011

Now that the weather is slowly turning cooler, it’s time to head into the studio again. First with a portrait commission I donated to the Rhinebeck Science Foundation auction to benefit the children of our schools. Wendi Rinaldi, a fellow mom and art lover, made a generous bid and won the commission. Having 2 sons she tossed a coin and her youngest, Owen, will be the subject of the painting. Over the summer I had a great photo shoot with Owen and I have a wonderful shot to work with. Check out my Facebook page or subscribe to my blog to see how it progresses.
