Fresh Air

Since this past summer, I’ve really gotten into painting outdoors. After spending a number of introspective winter months working on a relatively big studio project, I needed a change of pace - something quick and visceral. These numerous rapid sketches have become a truly joyful part of my practice.

…and I’d like to begin selling them, as well. Soon, I’ll have a page up of select works for sale through this site. For now, more painting to do.

Santa Fe

Had a wonderful figure painting workshop at The Ryder Studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico - a really great way to begin the new year. Our model Arzélie was incredibly inspiring and the students were a joy to work with. Many thanks to each and all who were a part of this experience.

I hope to have a few more workshops in the meantime, but on the horizon is my Summer in Paris figure drawing class(es) with Studio Escalier - Info & application is online (Priority deadline is February 1st).

En Garde

I recently had the incredible privilege to spend time painting a suit of armor that I’ve long admired at the Met. I did a drawing of the set last year (a study for a project idea that I’d like to realize one day), not knowing that I’d get the opportunity to paint from it as well. It’s exciting to have been able to study this from life. My thanks to the Met’s Copyist Program & the Department of Arms and Armor for being on board with this quest.

(Of course… I could have used some more time)
