Beauty in Motion

I have moved to Santa Fe for the winter with my fellow artists. I was lucky enough to sit in on a demo by Tony Ryder the other day, whom my friends have been studying with. Its beautiful here, and Fall is falling. Here is the beginning for my first piece for our upcoming show in NYC entitled 'Beauty in Motion.'

Libyan Sibyl- study

a recent quick study I did from an image of Michelangelo's 'Studies for The Libyan Sibyl.'

the aftermath

hello.... so here is the final painting i completed this summer in france.... better late posting than never. I was very happy with my progress this summer. currently I am in NYC, having attended 'About Beauty' a show that my fellow artists put together. We have planned another show entitled 'Beauty in Motion' for december in NYC. I will be returning to Arizona, before leaving for Santa Fe to create work with the others for this show. we'll be busy!! please keep up with my blog as I transform it into the ongoing journey of my work. Thank You!! -T

2 more weeks..

here are two pieces i worked on, just part of the process.. painting is a long road.. being here has made me feel strongly though about continuing to study painting intensely.

we will do one more painting for the last two weeks. getting close to the end of the term. i am happy to return and have some time to take what i have learned and apply it on my own. 

3 weeks to go!

heres my work in progress for painting 2. wow. times moving fast. i got off track on my first painting, so i took my time with the poster and drawing first, and just started the final painting yesterday of our new model, Eliza. life is dramatic and full of learning here. always more to learn. 3 weeks to go.. 

painting 1- done

wow, by the time i got throught the poster, the drawing, the transfer, i had to throw paint at the canvas. very rough. heres my color cartoon poster though. next one will be more deliberate and finished hopefully.

Light through the dark..

I had to move to a different house, le tour de france!, and we are starting much longer paintings and drawings. Im very happy to be in my new place, and class is marching on. eating darkness to find light. only four weeks left. wow..
