What I've been up to...

Above is a snapshot of my recent portrait Josh that I just got back from the framer. I've also just completed three portrait commissions, but I do not have permission from the client to post them. I have a couple of commissions lined up for late summer and early fall, and I will be starting another piece soon, but I am debating starting it before or after the baby arrives (my due date is June 17th!) Stay tuned...

20th Annual CPSA Exhibition

I'm so excited that my piece A Second Cup has been accepted into the 20th Annual CPSA International Exhibition! This is my fifth year in a row being accepted into the exhibition. This year's exhibition will take place in Covington, KY, with over 120 colored pencil works on display. For more information, see cpsa.org.

Portrait of Josh

Above is my latest portrait, Josh, oil on panel, 20x16. This is another sample portrait that I will have on display in my studio and possibly enter into art competitions, but I will be busy with several private commissions I have lined up for the next few months.

Portrait Preview

I am just about finished a new portrait, and I decided to post a detail of the face. There is some glare in this photo, and the painting still needs to be varnished before I get a high resolution scan.

Honorable Mention at CSOPA Exhibition

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).
