Figure sketch from last week's drink & draw at @scarlet7gallery. Lots of fun and refreshing to paint something other than a nude. Who knew that painting people without their clothes on could get boring?

Pastel portrait demo from today's All Media Portrait class @arlenes_artist_materials. Great group of students and a few familiar faces!

Little 11x14" figure study in pastel on handmade paper. Now on display at the Shirt Factory Gallery in Glens Falls, NY.

My demo from today's Pastel Portrait Workshop with the Adirondack Pastel Society. Having fun with a great group of artists, and 2 more days to go!

Recent portrait painting demonstration for GEMfest in Glens Falls. Oil painting on aluminum, 12x16

I'm thrilled to announce that my pastel The Golden Apple was awarded Best of Show at the 3rd Annual National Adirondack Pastel Exhibition! A huge thanks to awards juror Deborah Quinn-Munson for the honor!

Detail of my charcoal drawing from the workshop with @jeff_hein_art. Today we starting painting... (at The Hungerford)

Jeff Hein's portrait demo in charcoal today. Words fail me. If you aren't following @jeff_hein_art you're missing out. (at The Hungerford)

Some pieces kicking around the studio, waiting to either be framed or "archived" (thrown in the pile). Appears be be about 50% butts.

If I were a modern artist I'd be done already. [sighs existentially] #classicalartistsproblems

My plein air painting of @proulxphotos at the @hydecollection today. Thanks to everyone who came out!

Kelly in a steampunk hat. Our model didn't show so Kelly took pity on us and stepped in. (at Saratoga Arts)

This morning's demo at my All Media Portrait workshop with the always chromatic Jamie modeling. :) (at Saratoga Arts)

Bright colors are overrated. 😜
