This is one of a few studies I’ve made for an upcoming portrait commission.

wonder women
This year, I had the best birthday ever.
To thank all the individuals – and in place of hand-written notes – who made it so, I’ve coordinated the making of a custom costume that honors the recent made-of-brass works of Meredith Anne Sutton. Sutton led (with her typical style, persistence and perfection) the campaign to make this year’s surprise birthday super-hero-esque.
meredith, the costume is yours! get a real model; like one 1/2 my age!
To DHB, WPD, FE, IKF, LPF, MDH, KI, SO, SAL, GR, KR, CS, ES, STS, MAS, LAT, LJT, AVG, EW; you’re not all women, but you all make life wonderful.

tahoe hybrids studies
I’ve completed ten new studies for a Lake Tahoe inspired series. And I’ve put in an order for the canvasses. An exciting chapter in the on-going saga of what former student Michael Porten calls “pain-ting”.

Yesterday, photographer Andrew Sherman stopped over. DCB and I were inspired by his visit and work and drew this studio portrait.

princeton artist brush co: catalyst wedge series
Remember as a child, you got new sneakers and could run a lot faster and better?
Recently, I’ve been trying out the Princeton Artist Brush blades. I don’t even want to tell what I used before, but these “wedges” are wonders! Not only do they do the job beautifully, but the shape, scale and weight of the silicone tools themselves thrill. I’m especially enjoying the Catalyst Wedge W-06. I guess once you go Catalyst, you never go back.
