I've been thinking florals for the past week or so and remembered this one I painted in the Janet Rogers workshop. See blog post HERE. I had been finding the painting pinned on Pinterest without a correct link so decided to put it on my Daily Paintworks Gallery. I haven't painted in watercolor in several years but use watercolors mostly for journal entries. The posts before and after the link show some of the journal entries.

Party Dress, 16 x 8 Well, since returning from seeing kids over the holidays in Alaska, I have been doing a few small works for the Huff Harrington "Grand Affair" fete in late January -- they have an annual show of paintings $1,000 (a grand) or less! Nice idea, and freeing for the painter. It's a chance to try new things, small format, and let it fly... and in doing so, I have noticed, over and over, that I tend to paint in a vertical or a square format. What does that say about me, the painter? That I'm short, and therefore like vertical, i.e. tall sizes? That I am somewhat scattered (!) and like to be formed into a square?? Who knows the truth of it, but there is no doubt that I lean, lean, LEAN to the upright and boxy shapes. I have noted, however, than when I DO break out of my mold, my paintings seem to quickly sell, as the one below: Soft Touch, 30 x 40 Perhaps there is a lesson there for me in the new year :-) Happy New Year and happy breaking out!!

Study of Sarah, 12 x 10 Last weekend, I taught a really fun workshop at Atlanta Artists Center on Capturing the Essence...painting studies of children, or really, the figure - from photographs. My usual workshop format is alla prima - doing studies from life set-ups, but I love this one too. Fifteen participants were game and we had lots of fun, great lunches at the restaurant next door, and maybe a sip of wine as well. Below are some shots of the proceedings! Photo Source for Quick Demo on Saturday Linear Placement Sketch of figure Color Sketch of subject, placement of value shapes Below are some of the quick studies done by the class, who used a limited palette and big brushes... I think they are really good - wish I had taken some close-ups! I also wanted to post a few photos I took at the Portrait Society of America Convention, which was held here in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Went on Friday only, but I did get to attend a Michele Dunaway /David Kassan demo. Also, in the morning, I was lucky to see the fabulous watercolor painter, Mary Whyte and accomplished portraitist, Michael Shane Neal do demos too! There was great energy all around -- AND I met Rosemary of the Rosemary Brush Company. (She and I created a "Nancy Franke Brush Kit" which is available at www.rosemaryandcompany.com, and which has lots of the synthetic flats and brights that I prefer). Nancy's Brush Kit, left to right # 10 bright, series 274, # 6 Ivory Filbert, # 8 Ivory Short Flat, # 10 Ivory Filbert, # 10 Ivory Short Flat, # 10 Ivory Long Flat, # 12 Ivory Long Flat Next are some photos I randomly took of various paintings on display, both from the demos and from the paintings selected as finalists in the International Portrait Competition. Here is one demo from Thursday Night's "Face Off," where 15 artists painted different models for two hours, setting the tone for the weekend of painting to follow! Joseph Todorovich demo (of model Annie Jefferson) from the"Face Off" Jeffery Hein demo from Face Off; this one won the People's Choice Award Quang Ho demo from Face Off Michele Dunaway Demo (on right) from Friday breakout session Close up of Michele Dunaway's piece.. wonderful value shapes and sensitivity to the pose. Some portraits I liked from the Finalists in the International Competition, which were on exhibit: Chang Lian Kate Stone Seth Havercamp

Sketch of Leah, 12 x 9 My friend Yvonne Mendez has a really nice studio here in Atlanta, and she sometimes hires a model, calls a few painters, and hosts a 3- hour session. I haven't done this in over a year, and I can tell! Last Monday, we met at her studio, the model that was hired forgot the appointment, so Kathy Wochele's daughter, Leah, came to the rescue. My sketch is not much of a likeness, but there is a quality to it that I like. It was my third attempt after a few wipeouts ... Luckily, there are 3 more sessions scheduled for this summer!

Lean on Me, 6 x 6 Back at the daily little warm ups, and loving it. I was energized yesterday by some really good and eager painters at a one-day workshop I taught here in Atlanta -- it is just great to be with others on this quest to say more with less. Tonight my husband and I were at dinner, and I told him how much I have come to appreciate the art life that I'm now experiencing, which has truly unfolded in a magical way!
