A demo from yesterday's portraiture class where I'm teaching at The Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. The homework is to do an exaggerated self/self portrait.

I will be doing portraits up on the 4th floor ~ 15 minute portraits, $25 each! What a steal!! Starts at 6:30, goes till 9:30. I'm a teensy bit nervous about being on display while working...

Wish me luck!!!

Red Song, Green Shadows...

The April Sun is a powerful thing...

March Winds a Blowin'

I'm in my Portland studio today, doing a couple of blogposts, and working on a portrait. At home in Woolwich we are on day three of no power. High winds on Friday knocked down trees and powerlines. So we've been flushing our toilets with water from the stream, heating with the woodstove, cooking on the gas range, washing dishes in the snow, and reading by candlelight. It's felt very good to be off the grid. I'm thinking of making this a practice - no radio, no TV, and no computer for one day a week. Ahhhhh....
