Sophie's Back - Oil on Linen

Oil on Linen, 15' X 19" SOLD

Sorry, it's been a long while since I posted, I know.

You know that old saying, "Those who can do do, and

those who can't, teach"? - Well, that's been me for the

past few months. I don't mean that I literally can't

make artwork, I just mean that the economy has

forced me to spend more time teaching ( I teach

private workshops in my home).

I enjoy doing this

tremendously, but preparing for them requires a

tremendous amount of time and effort.

For instance, I am teaching one for the next several

weeks. It meets on six separate days. Just painting

the examples for it, doing the research, typing up

the text, putting together the reference materials

for the students, etc., has taken me three weeks of

solid work. Fortunately, I do enjoy that as well. I

think I was a monk in a former lifetime.

But it's time to get back to work!

And I mean ARTWORK!!

Thanks for visiting today.

SOLD
This is a painting of a young woman who used to model for me
before she moved to New York to seek her fortune in music and
the theatre. Not only was she blessed with physical beauty, but
with a lustrous operatic voice, and acting talent! She has already
performed with Shakespeare in the Park. I am so proud of her.
She certainly made an inspiring model though. We all miss her.

Thanks for visiting.
