Cool Artists of the Week


Paul S. Brown
Classical Realism
This man loves great wine and cigars
as well as many other finer things in life
Notice his color choices - evidence of the "three finger salute!"
He paints his still lifes with incredible painterly detail - but-
Notice how loose his strokes become in the landscapes
Absolutely stunning work
(He grinds his own oil paint!)

mixes representational images with abstractions

Nancy MacDonald
Lovely work
Notice how she handles the oils and pastels in a similar manner
The stroke of the brush and pastel are expressive
she understands light - and knows how to use color

I hope you all had a restful Thanksgiving
I am presently working on a huge portrait in oil of my son, Brooks
(as well as an addition to the Surface Tension series)
Can't wait to share it with you - maybe in a few days
Wonderful model!

Astrid - beautiful inside and out! Charcoal on Fabriano Artistico Those of you that attended the Steven Assael Workshops at the Boca Museum School know of his practice to clip his palette next to his painting for a seamless evaluation of color.  Look at this cool product by David Jon Kassan. The parallel palette comes in two sizes. Check this out! David Jon Kassan Beautiful blended skin tone palette. His technique differs from the full palette of Steven Assael. Different results, both exquisite.  Check out his sketchbook live videos. Be prepared to learn from this man. I just realized he is having a week long workshop in Civita Italy - one week painting from a nude model. I am finishing some of my life drawings and will be posting them on facebook and this blog.  Is anyone interested in small classes at my studio? My ideas are open and limited to up to 5 - 6 students.

"Moodling, a combination of musing and mental doodling, can lead to floating over any number of obstacles..." Jane Champangne

Lately, I have been working on portraits and figures. Confidence comes from practice. Always looking to push myself into different methods of describing form and feeling.  Cool Artists of the Week Chris Stevens Look how he challenges you with the placement of his images. The use of differing perspectives draws your attention. His experience and technical ability is complemented by great design. Mark Karnes Master of ink washes and draws like a painter. Look carefully at how he manipulates edges and shadows in his drawings. Karnes suggests reality - like a poem. Kathleen Dunphy I am in awe of this huge body of work from life. Dunphy paints from life - outdoors - in all weather.  Strong design and wonderful sense of color. Douglas McDougall Detail with imagination! Elisabetta Tevisan Magic! This is the last week of the term at Boca Museum School. I hope to see you all next term!
