I had the idea for this set-up for a long time and finally did it yesterday.

Studies and Master Copies

I attended a William Schneider workshop back in March and was inspired to paint more portraits and figures.

12 x 9, from photo reference

12 x 9, from a photo of the model in the workshop

 

12 x 9, copy from Everett Kinstler

8 x 10,  copy from Quang Ho

8 x 10, copy from Nancy Chaboun

8 X 10, still life study. It's from my own set-up, but, can you believe it, it's painted from an old photo.

I used all my free time to paint, even when I had only an hour or two to spare. I had to rely on using photo references and doing master copies due to lack of time. I was starting to get into the groove but then quickly got sidetracked by having to sell the old house, planning an upcoming trip to China in June, and arranging/attending Tyler's numerous playdates and his friends' birthday parties...

Three paintings

Yellow Mum, oil on linen panel, 16 x 12

Copper Pot, oil on linen panel, 11 x 14

The White Torso, oil on linen panel, 9 x 12

I did this painting with my painter friend Abigail. We collaborated on the set-up. I really like the white torso she brought.
