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!)

Angela Fraleigh
Very large
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!

It has been a great introduction to the Southeast Asian geography and culture.

Singapore Biennale AN ATLAS OF MIRRORS - AT ONCE, MANY WORLDS "In charting our way around the world, humankind has relied on instruments of vision as well as navigation. Atlases map and mirror our journeys of discovery and often make visible more than just physical terrain; driven by our needs and desires, they embolden us to venture into the unknown. From our coordinates in Southeast Asia, the arc of our shared histories encompasses East and South Asia. These regions bear the imprints of one another's diverse cultures, even as boundaries are also constantly reimagined. Fraught and unstable, these borders are characterized by fluid mo...

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. Cost will depend on demand and model fees. Life drawing with ...
