I have been invited by The Clark Art Institute to be an onsite artist for their winter party: Picture Yourself at the Clark.
This event celebrates the opening of Giovanni Boldini in Impressionist Paris, the artist's first exhibition outside of Europe in over 20 years.
I am delighted to have been asked to set up my easel and draw portraits of guests "a la Paris streets circa 1880"
The event is on February 13, from 6-8pm, at the Clark. If you are attending, please stop by for a sketch.
If not, I'll be sure to post some pics.

Tweaking in the New Year
I added some subtle touches to "Justice" and think it is much better now. I gave it an all over tweak. I made the hand "hold" the skull better by eliminating the heavy outline where they meet. I added some extra highlights to the iris and lids to "sparkle" a bit more. I also solidified and rendered the pages a bit more and added some warm tones from the reflection of the hand. I also repainted the hand - for the 4th time, and I'll leave it at that.
I also tweaked "Trinity" and am really happy with the way it looks now.
A new painting is already in the bag for 2010. I am focusing on the application of the paint and building structure/form through my brush strokes. I'm taking a page from Shawn Barber's notes.
After I finish 3-4 I'll start uploading them.
