still jim

jimmy sat for us this week and he read his homework and sat so still like a good little model. you can tell by this painting how much he loves school...

commission, continued..

i got the green light to do two more drawings for 30 rock, and here they are:

..and the 1st one again, just edited a bit, as the original was apparently too bootylicious for prime time:

drawing commission

this is a drawing which will hopefully be the first of three, commissioned for the set of NBC's "30 Rock" :)

el diablo

more good news from paradise

two more paintings sold in St. Barth! the owners of Eden Rock Hotel and Jane's Gallery are taking these little guys, which i did in Normandy a couple summers ago:

little shauna

check out the painting my friend brooks did a few years ago here - i finally bought it and gave it to jimmy for valentine's day. it is such a nice little painting.. (not just because of the subject ;)

rachel

rachel sat for our third installment of the wednesday painting group. (last week i sat, which is why i had no painting to post.) we're hoping to keep this going each week, and to bring more people in! :)

jane

a quick study of my studio-mate. she and i and a couple other painting buddies will be meeting every wednesday evening, taking turns sitting for eachother. :)

2007 bringing good things so far

i've been slackin on my bloggin this holiday season. i was home for the holidays (as you know my faithful reader, aka Mom) and didn't paint like i'd planned.. but i had a great time and maybe i'll post some pics soon. but for the moment, i'd like to get my brag on: one of the paintings (below) that was chosen for the st. barths show, sold. and to none other than Lorne Michaels, creater & producer of Saturday Night Live.

otherwise i've been busy back at work playing catch-up. but soon i'll be back at the studio and back to posting new stuff. happy new year!

ellen

... to be finished when we meet again after new years :)

giving me a run for my money

these kids are totally saving my blogger-ass, providing me with wonderful posts. and their work is becoming so meaningfully nuanced. like these drawings by parker, i mean, what's going on in his subjects' minds?:

julian's work has really gone in a post-modern conceptual direction:

and last but definitely not least, josh's bird is back, only this time he appears to be part of some kind of gang; sporting dew rags, smoking doobies and rolling one deep:

self portrait

i did this a couple weeks ago actually; i've been trying to do lots of quick, one-sitting studies to get the juices flowing... lots of self portraits, since i'm always available to model! i've got some other sitters lined up, so hopefully you'll see some different faces soon. :)
