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!).

On the easel, Pansies in a Copper Bowl, day 1.  9 x 12 inches, oil on panel.

You may notice, I’m shifting toward more complex compositions and more difficult subject matter.  There’s a huge bouquet of pink and white tulips on my easel right now.  I feel I’ve been working up to these paintings for quite some time, and now is as good a moment as any to leap forward.
