Palette Knife Portrait From Life

Chomping at the bit to get this palette knife portrait done. Started from life yesterday at my teaching class at The California Art Institute with the lovely Mather Louth.

New semester about to begin at CAI. Join us. It is a fun, lively class...and I am demoing palette knife, plus a ton of other stuff.

My 2014 Limited Edition Calendar is here with hopefully some crowd pleasers. I have carefully chosen images from the last few years that seemed the most popular from either what collectors and students told me or what competitions validated with awards and nods. And others I just plain liked just because... phew.

"Heather's Braids" Winner of The Oil Painters' of America Daler Rowney Award of Painting Excellence

"Sienna" First Place Atlanta Portrait Society
