I attended the reception for the CSOPA Faces of Winter Exhibition on Friday, and the portraits on display were really amazing. I am thrilled that my portrait Danny was selected to be a part of the exhibit, and also to have been awarded honorable mention. I was especially excited to see one of Daniel Greene's paintings on display in addition to the portraits selected for the exhibit. The exhibition continues through February 24th at the UConn Stamford Art Gallery (see http://csopa.homestead.com/Faces-of-Winter-2012.html for more information).

A Second Cup
Pictured here is my newest piece, A Second Cup, which is based on an earlier piece I did, Self Portrait with Tea. For this piece, I employed a much warmer and richer color palette, and also a different colored pencil technique. This piece is 24" x 18", Prismacolor colored pencils on sanded paper mounted on board.

Preview of a New Piece
I have been working on a colored pencil drawing similar to one I did in 2008, but with a slightly different pose and more dramatic color scheme. I also am using a different colored pencil technique, as mine has evolved over the years. Here is a preview of a crop of the face (first image), and I have also included a crop of the 2008 version for comparison (second image). The final drawing will be scanned and posted on Friday.
