Quick Draw in Hood River - Sketch

The Quick Draw (it's really about painting, don't ask me why they call it Quick Draw) is tomorrow, and the location is downtown Hood River. I would love to paint some people at the coffee shop. So I was sketching them today at the coffee shop to see how it might go, and this is what I came up with in my sketchbook.

It is sponsored by Columbia Center for the Arts in Hood River and Bellas Art Supplies.

Colorful Chairs - sold

This painting is in the Plein Air 2010 show at the Columbia Center for the Arts. It sold the first night at the opening of the show, with lots of interest in more commissioned paintings of the "famous chairs" at Rasmussen Farm, in Hood River OR. Rasmussen Farm is up for sale, so "the chairs" may be no more! Lots of artists and photographers stop and make their interpretation of the chairs. I will be doing more chair paintings, in different sizes.

Black Eyed Susan Flowers - sold

The Beet Goes On - sold

Been a while since I posted, but I have been busy! Here is the finished painting that I was working on when Oregon Public Broadcasting, Art Beats film crew, Katrina Sarson; Producer, audio tech Randy Layton, and videographer Greg Bond, came out to my studio to do some filming for the program. That was a fun thing to do. They are so professional... you can tell they have lots of years of experience working with many different kinds of artists.

Vine Tomatoes - sold

Summer tomatoes, fresh off the vine. Today is Gorge Grown Farmer's Market day, and I am on my way to check out what veggies they have that are the most paintable! They think I eat those vegetables I buy. Ok, I do eat most of them. Next week OPB is coming to my studio to do some filming for the Art Beats program, and I am probably going to take them to the farmer's market, to see my inspiration for summer veggies and fruit.

Blaney's Fava Beans

My painter friend, Blaney has a spot at the farmer's market, where she sells locally grown vegetables. I had never SEEN a fava bean, much less eaten one! Blaney told me they were great, (and they looked interesting to paint) so I got some. They are good to eat, and good to paint. The background color is sort of blue-gray laverdery, I thought it looked good with the fresh spring green of the beans. I don't know if the photo accurately captures this color.

Surfer in 10 Speed Coffee Shop - sold

The light in this coffee shop is so interesting, coming in the windows, and backlighting the people. This guy looked interesting. As I mentioned in the post yesterday - I like paintings subjects that have alot of light/dark contrast, and this place definitely has light blasting in from the windows. Oh yeah, and 10 Speed has GREAT coffee!

Studio Sale was a success!

Several photos from the Studio Sale this weekend, May 15 & 16, 2010
It was fun! There were about 150 visitors this year, over a 2 day period. Lots of people asked me about teaching again, so I have a list of those who are interested. I will give you a call or email, and we can get something going again this summer. My artist friend, Celeste Bergin and her husband took great photos!

I was lucky #13 on the tour...
