Lavender Roses by Lisa Gloria
This one has been on the easel for quite a while, but it just kept calling me… “finish me… finish me….” it whispered. I adore the little blown glass vase. Its translucency makes it appear to change colors, and it has that dainty little foot.

9 x 12 Oil on Linen, Gerber Daises in Steel Vase

9 x 12, oil on linen. I’ve been working on finishing up some commissions, and this is one of them. Teeny self portrait again! This is the happiest painting I ever made, btw… very bright, the flower in full-face toward the sun, the golden one shyly emerging…. The petals are practically pluckable.
I don’t mind telling you, I’ve been spending a lot of time on my paintings, pushing a lot farther and going for not just an “object” but a “story.” Even if it’s a subtle story… This one is about optimism.
Sorry folks, not painting live tonight. Feeling under the weather and just can’t manage it!
see you next week.

Lulu in progress

Lulu has a day to go yet, but she’s getting close.
Also I started work today with a new figure model. She has a lovely face, and I’m really happy to have met her.

Based on your feedback, I’ve decided to do some evening painting live, in front of the venerable studio audience. Join me Monday night 7pm CST when I start a series of 4 portraits of my daughters (5 if I can get my stepdaughter to visit!).
