Haircut Part I

Here's a more in depth piece I've been working on. There will eventually be a 'Part II', making it a diptych, which will be exciting.  It's going to be a part of a show featuring women artists alongside a larger piece that I've been working on since January! Crazy! And it's actually finished, which is the unbelievable part (in my mind at least!). I'll post pictures of that one soon.

Opening: Mint

Here's some pics from my opening last night at Mint! It went great and thanks for everyone who came out!

6 x 6 Show at Larkin Arts

It's been a while! I actually have been painting despite my leave of absence from my blog. Anywho, here's a piece I did for a "6 x 6" show at Larkin Arts. The constraints of the show were that no piece could exceed 6" in any one direction. I wanted to do something that would stand out amongst the sea of tiny submissions while incorporating the feminist themes which are prevalent throughout my larger figure paintings.  The picture isn't great but I one 3rd place! Woo!

This is a study for a larger painting that is based off of a reference photo I took while in Guatemala this past January.

For this painting I wanted to focus on the 'geometry' of the kiwi; really emphasizing the quirky shapes that are created when the fruit is sliced in half.

Pillow Talk

I couldn't resist this title. The tomatoes just seemed too juicy and "intimate". I rarely work with a pattern, but I thought I'd give this one a shot. It's actually a woven table runner I got in Guatemala this past January.

Young Model

This is was the last of the paintings I did at the workshop last week. Our model was a young woman, who was actually doing it for the first time, she did a great job! Anywho, I really had fun zeroing on her face and getting a nice, loose portrait of her.
