I didn't win but I got a nice painting out of the @salmagundiclub Draped Figure Competition. I went for a narrative subject this time for fun! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Zfq55R

Wish me luck! Just arrived at the @salmagundiclub for today's Draped Figure Competition. They don't allow phones in the studio so I’ll update when it's over at 4:00pm. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2MAAsdu

This painting was a great exploration of realism. I think I achieved a level of polish that I rarely get to explore. ”Pumpkin With Blue, 2015”, Oil Paint on Oil Paper. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2zk3ZQ6

This was another night painting from the @susannacoffey mini-workshop at @miltonartbank - downtown Milton, PA makes for good art! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2TUsM6N

Figura n.1811 | 18x24” Charcoal On Paper | I wanted to show the strength of the model in this pose and I accented the overall feeling with the contrasting dark and light shapes that define the form. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Z9nCK3

Sold! Packed and shipped another two Eagles Mere paintings to a collector today. It's exciting to send artworks out into the world, to live their own lives. Goodbye and safe travels my friends! 🛫 🌎🗺️ — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2MtBvMb

There's just something profoundly satisfying about reorganizing and cleaning your own studio. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2YZoOzx

This was the second of two night paintings I created at a @miltonartbank event several weeks ago with @susannacoffey. She had a fantastic show of her beautiful night paintings hanging and generously gave a talk followed by a mini-workshop of sorts about night painting. It was an excellent evening of art. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2ZabS59

I realized that j never shared the final image of this excellent painting of the swan, so here it is. It is still a little cropped because of IG limitations but the swan and it’s reflection are there. ❤️ this little painting. ”Swan, Oil Study. 5x7” Oil Paint on Primmed Panel, 2019.” — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2MoMTZJ

Open Portrait Studio is back in September at @theartsunderground - join us for exploring the art of the portrait in an open and professional environment! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2KULc3o

I loved my time painting up at Eagles Mere lake earlier this summer. This piece is one of several I completed while up there. I enjoy the feeling of being able to work on a piece from start to finish out in the landscape. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2z32GVq

This painting is the second piece from the Open Portrait Studio. I wasn't able to bring it up to as full of a finish as I would have liked, but I like it regardless of that. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2MgjrFr

I am very pleased! Here is the final version of 1 of 2 works from the previous Open Portrait Studio @theartsunderground. The next session starts on Sept. 9 - ”Kelsey, Head Study, 11x14” Oil Paint on Primed Panel” — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2YWET4c
