Weeks 11 & 12


This week found me traveling to Sag Harbor, NY to meet with Super-Mentor April Gornik. She is very insightful and gives awesome critiques that are very helpful. I know some other people have had some difficulties with their big name mentors and I am very lucky and grateful to April. I told her the bird picture I sent out (as seen on the previous blog) was the last one. I forgot I had already started this one.


I think the birds above and these trees are heavily influenced by my paper about Gerhard Richter. I am playing with that soft mostly grey palette. Very eerie indeed.


This UFO painting is coming slowly, but I want it done right. It's been a while since I did a traditional landscape background (blue further back, yellow closer up, etc.). I'm a little rusty with this one.


This last one is an under painting for a new winter scene. Under painting in the compliments didn't help me so using relative colors might.
