Principle Gallery Blog: News about the show, "The Expedition and Beyond"

Our show in Alexandria is coming up fast - it opens less than a week away, Friday, April 13th, 6:30 to 9:00. Please come by for the opening if you can! Here's what Principle Gallery says on their recent blog entry (scroll down to see my circular painting of Mia Bergeron featured in the post).  http://principlearttalk.com/2012/04/06/women-painting-women-the-expedition-beyond/


Mia in a White Turban, Oil, 20" tondo

"Pink Ranunculus" Oil, 12" x 9"

Great fun with this one. I have to admit, I had as much fun with those slimy green, wormy stems as I did with the blossoms.

It looks like I'm painting lots of still lifes, doesn't it? I usually have a few paintings going at the same time. Right now I have a portrait commission on one easel. I work in layers so I'm waiting for it to dry somewhat before I can continue. I also have an ongoing landscape on a second easel, which spreads out into several days, since the lighting effect only lasts for around 40 minutes each day, and some days I have to skip all together. Right after I finished these ranunculus, my roses in my  garden started to bloom, quite annoyingly all at the same time. I'm travelling from easel to easel, not that I'm complaining, mind you.
