painting the model

                                                            Girl with the Green Scarf
                                                                         6x6 oil
                                                                    280.  framed

This is the painting that was accepted into the Randy Higbee Gallery 6x6 show in CA. I just sent it out today. Again, this is the model Tamara who I have been painting lately. This painting will be available for sale through the Gallery. For more information, contact me at ksmbythesea@aol.com

Painting the model

                                                              Tamara
                                                            6x6 oil 175.

I have been working on small panels, 6x6 inches in anticipation of an upcoming show at the Randy Higbee Gallery in CA. There was a limited number to submit and this was one I chose to keep out of that show. I have been painting this model, Tamara, for the last several weeks and have a few paintings
I will put on here including the one that got into that show. Usually I would work on one small like this one and a large one which I would finish up  after the session in my studio. It was interesting to work on it after she had left, just from memory and trying to just make a good painting rather than a total likeness of the model.

kitchen series

                                                                    Order Up
                                                                8x10 Oil  200.


For this painting I wanted to use a limited palette and focus on the light and the contrast.

Not so small work

                                                    The Butcher and His Apprentice
                                                               11x14 oil   900.

This painting is being published in the April edition of American Art Collector Magazine.  I thought I would just put it out there in case anyone cares to check it out. I have recently finished another larger painting of an interior bar scene which I will post here soon also.

shopper series

                                                                    Waiting
                                                                   8 x10 oil
                                                                      200.
This painting was done from a series I had done of people shopping.  This particular guy was in Milan outside one of the shops, waiting calmly while the dog was a little more anxious.   I tried to capture the contrast in their postures as well as the wonderful colors of that scene.
