Pop Up Gallery In the BAB

 This is the "Pop Up Gallery" in the middle of the BAB Building where all the Monotypes I have been working on are now on Display.  I love the concept of this movable gallery.  It's very open and sits in the middle of the walk area and invites you to walk through in a way that a more conventional gallery space does not.  It's hard to photograph but it is shaped somewhat like a big spider.  You can just walk through or walk around inside to see the art.
  If you are in Bahrain come check out the BAB at the Souq.  Festivities are Thursdays thru Saturdays 4:30 -10:00 untill the end of March

The sign you see is the info about me and the work. The red lettering
is the logo for the BAB renewal fest (its in Arabic)

Apple of my eye

this is from a Saturday model session

This painting found a home

I've been gone for two weeks taking care of some family business so haven't gotten to post anything new.  I did sell this painting just as I got it back from the Pearl Museum show of award winning paintings from the Watercolor Society of Houston's International show.  I guess "everyone loves a winner" isn't just a saying!  It made me very happy considering that I wasn't able to work for two weeks.

Life Drawing in Colorado

Carly from life drawing. She was pretty inspiring.  This was a quick sketch, 5 minutes, I think. Not great but I like the colors.

Richeson 75 figure/portrait show

Got my notice of acceptance for the Richeson 75 show for the Figure in Gray painting.

Figure in Gray

Not sure how I managed to delete this post but it is gone never the less.  I originally posted this as an entry in the "Just Figures Show". I have recently entered it into a couple of competitive shows. Will keep you posted as to how it does.

Geez, just one adventure after another around here! LOL!

Watercolor Art Society - Houston (WASH)

I am so honored that juror, Judy Morris, chose this painting for a Merit Award ($200) in the 32nd Annual International Exhibition of 2009!

  The Show will be up until April 3, 2009.  The Beautiful new WAS-H building is located at Alabama and Mendell.  Hope you get by to see it as it is wonderful show.

Saturday Model session

This is a pose that I transferred to an 8"X 8"  panel (mounted on wood frame)from a sketch I did in Saturday's model session.  I had planned to finish it out as an oil painting but I took it to my critique group yesterday and everyone there thought I should just leave it as is.  This is just what I intended to be the underpainting.  I was so looking forward to painting on it!  I will live with it a bit and see if I can resist. 

Figure Study from Saturday

Here is one of the figure studies I did on Saturday. Our model was Kristina. I didn't really capture a likeness in her face but I liked the pose and composition.
