Jake

I have been very interested in getting better at portraits so I signed up to take a workshop with Susan Carlin. Check out Susan's blog here http://susansartjournal.blogspot.com. This is the second portrait I did in the workshop. The first one isn't presentable YET but I think this is one isn't too shabby. Heck, I'm even encouraged!!! This is Susan's nephew, Jake.

The Rose

Another yellow rose from this Texas artist. I am very happy with this painting. Carlene Reeves is a master at painting roses. It is always a pleasure to study with her. Please see her website http://carlenereeves.com/. If you would like to study with Carlene, she will be offering a workshop at the Coppini Academy of Fine Arts in October of 2010. http://www.coppiniacademy.com/
