On My Easel

Thought I would post some progress shots of a new piece I am currently working on....

She Talks to Angels

Watercolor Portrait

And here in my solitude I can grow stronger. Poetry seems to come of itself, without effort, and I need only let myself dream a little while painting to suggest it. * Paul Gauguin

Watercolor Gesture Drawing



Painting Live model

I love the opportunity of painting from life. I like the challenge of quick gestures...I think it actually captures the essence of the model and allows you to let go.

Twitter Art Exhibit in Norway

My hats off to a wonderful gentleman by the name of David Sandum.There was a call to artists for the 2nd annual Twitter art exhibit held in Norway. He is raising money for another local charity: The Women's Crisis Center in Moss, where abused women and children can get help. The center also provides a 24 hour phone-service, counseling, food and shelter etc. It but has lost a lot of funding the past year and the staff has been cut from 19 to 11. This is a very important cause, not only for the women in a crisis situation but also for their children. See their website visit at: http://www.moss.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?MId1=5277&AId=2515
