Paint Paint Paint!

Monday, September 12, 2011

This morning there was figure drawing again. Here are some sketches from today’s session.

Our model is always male, which I don’t really mind since I’ve painted the female figure more. I was remembering my idea that all people are like landscapes to be explored, so here is my rendition of the Umbrian hillside.

Paesaggio (Landscape), 14" x 11", oil on canvas, 9/12/11

I finally finished the self portrait, too.

Riflessione (Reflection), 14” x 11”, oil on canvas, 9/12/11

Also, as I was leaving the studio, I saw the sun reflecting off of the piece I’m currently working on, and it just made it even more creepy than it already is.

Bacco (Bacchus) underpainting, 11” x 14”, oil on canvas

Oh, and I figure since I’m in Italy, all my work titles should be in Italian. For my non-Italian speaking friends, I’ll translate them into English in parentheses. That is all, no deep thoughts today, I was just a painting machine :).

  2. Your self-portrait reminds me of the piece you did years ago in college; the reflection of you looking out the train window..
