Hi Chuck!
I linked over to your site via Chuck Rose's blog. I must tell you I truly admire your paintings. They have a certain energy to them, I'm sure because you paint live. (this is something I'd like to do more of, but it's a little intimidating when you are just starting out!) I also like the fact that you described your painting process.
I am not a painter, my style is usually cartoony, but like you I find people to be the most interesting of all subjects.
I'm sure I'll be back to visit now and then.
BTW, if you are a dad: Happy Fathers Day!
Carolyn, you shouldn't be intimidated working from the model. We're all just doing the best that we can. I try to enjoy the process as a kind of meditation. When all is going well, I don't even know that I'm painting... trance like. Sometimes, I can't even remember doing the actual painting. But, of course, there is a finished canvas as evidence. (Many of my paintings are done “alla prima” ... at one sitting.) So, try to relax and I'm sure you will do just fine!
Btw, I've enjoyed viewing your work. Good luck with your art and please stop back often.
Thanks Jessika. Why don't you view it live at the show? Philly is not that far away.
terrific
how nice for you to have it on exhibit... wow, enjoy it!
