To wrap up 2014, I wanted to share a collage of what I do on Thursday afternoons. A group of talented artist friends meet at Dan Becks' studio and paint/draw a live model. We've been meeting since August and have a lot to show from these Thursday meet ups. The collage of my figures show quite a progression from the time we started. Dan has done a great job hiring interesting models and providing us with a place to explore this subject matter. He provides great music to paint by too! Like some of the others, I started out thinking I couldn't paint faces and unsure of my ability to paint figures. Each week shared with these talented folks brought about a new challenge, a new discovery and a new confidence. I can paint figures. I can paint faces and I love the challenge. There are great dynamics within this group. We share a lot of life moments on these Thursday afternoons. To each of you, I say thanks for sharing this time together. Thank you Dan for your support and providing these special moments and I look forward to Thursday afternoons in the new year! By the way, we have a show at Café Luna on Castle Street until February. Stop by if you get a chance.
