If only spring would come! Then I might indulge in a live model rather than a photo taken last year. Oh well...I take what I can get to chase away the winter blahs! This one is another miniature. It measures 1 7/8" x 4". The minis are rather addicting!
Hi Mary, this is an absolutely stunning painting. I love your strong colours and the glowing effect beside the blues and violets. The format is wonderful too!
I have given you the Passion of Painting Blog Award. you need to name seven things you love and seven artists to pass it on to. You also need to let them know. The logo for the Award is on my blog, you just need to copy it. Doris
Oh! An Award! How cool that is! Thanks Doris!!! And thanks for the comments! The more I paint the more obessesed I become...but you already know that for you are a sister in this passion! It won't take me long to list seven things I love, (only 7?). I'll get started!
I grew up in culturally diverse San Francisco Bay Area and indulged in all forms of creative venues varying from music and dance to rich visual treats at museums.
I earned a BFA in Graphic Design at CCA and relished in the fine arts and design courses offered there. I graduated just before the dawn of computer graphics applications and have always felt blessed to be one of the last students taught the disciplines of exacting, hands-on skills required of the pre-computerized field. We were trained to apply strict adherence to detail and almost Zen-like focus on precise execution. This disciplined arts oriented ideology has influenced my approach not only to what I do in the studio but to life in general.
Of course, I have learned computer graphics applications since. I would be deceiving myself if I didn’t embrace one of the most amazing and flexible tools available to the modern day artist/designer. I only hope my work reflects that of carefully thought out artistry and evokes sentiments of beauty and balance as good design is meant to do. Hopefully my passion for thought provoking art coupled with love of the outdoors brings you visual contentment and joy.
