Lady in Blue

Following the popularity of the piece I painted live at the Fashion on the Town event a couple of weeks ago, I decided to paint a few smaller pieces in a similar style. This is one of four ladies that I painted this past weekend. This fancy lady is soon to be hanging in the "Fair and Square" show at the Metropolitan Arts Council Gallery, running from October 26- December 3. This show features a 12"x 12" (x 12") piece from the 140 artists participating in this year's Open Studios tour. The tour happens November 2,3, &4. For more info, visit www.greenvilleARTS.com.

I never like when I have to search around for something to paint. I prefer those days when I "stumble across" the perfect subject. A couple of nights ago, though, I was at a loss for what to paint. I was staring at the paintbrush lying on my paint palette when it suddenly occurred to me- I'll paint that. I love how the background comes across as an abstract, but it was a fairly faithful representation of the arrangement of the paint on the palette.

I wanted to say thanks to those of you who not only send me comments on individual pieces, but have told me your impressions of the collection as a whole. Several people have recently remarked about the change and growth in my work since I started doing these dailies. It really is remarkable how painting everyday has changed the way I approach a piece, how I view subjects, and even how I handle a paintbrush. Thanks again for all your input!
