| "Breakfast at Tiffanys" My class demo at The California Art Institute 16 x 20 SOLD I consider big picture hats with flowers the perfect still life. The person sitting underneath is almost a sidebar. Sorry person underneath! This was a demo done in my teaching class. It feels good to be back teaching after quite a long break due to surgery. I learn a lot from teaching - and I get to paint crazy big hats as part of the fun. JOIN ME WEDNESDAY MORNINGS AT CAI. It is a great group of artists. More information here |

First Portrait of The Year
 |
| Ms. Eva Markvoort, NFS Posthumous portrait Since her untimely passing almost four years ago after a courageous battle with Cystic Fibrosis, Eva has raised $1.4m for CF. She ran a blog called 65 Red Roses, telling the world about her life and death battle, raising awareness about CF, not to mention moving many hearts along the way, including mine which is why I wanted to paint her. See how you can donate to CF and watch Eva's documentary "65 RED ROSES" on the Oprah Winfrey OWN Channel or Metflix.
