<\/a><\/p>\nFingerless Gloves<\/em>, oil, 12×16<\/h6>\nCasting about for what I might share, here are a couple of little pieces done during an evening with a few other painters and a model. Such sessions are for the exercise of it, because practice is everything, and painting from life is more challenging that painting from pictures. What I’m after is a certain likeness, yes, but more, a feel, a movement, a sense of life in it all. And though it’s a three-hour session, about half way through I don’t know what to do any more (without making it a different kind of painting) so I stop and move on.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nFingerless Gloves Akimbo<\/em>, oil, 16×12<\/h6>\nAnd what to move onto but another place in the studio for a different perspective, this time more of a close-up and slightly below. Once again it came together pretty quickly. It wasn’t long before the painter behind me, a very accomplished artist and the leader of this group I’d joined that evening said, “Stop, that’s a Manet<\/em>.” I do remember Manet painted one something like that. Basically he, Bruce, was reminding me that, “It takes two people to paint a painting: one to hold the brush and the other to take it away from him before he ruins it.”\u00a0 As it was I went a little farther, just because I thought I’d somehow be cheating if I didn’t, but it started to look over-painted so I quit. Thanks, Bruce.<\/p>\nAgain, this is just a quick taste. These and a whole lot more will be all over the walls this weekend, both mine and Anne’s. This is the weekend that much of it is priced at 30 percent off, or more. I know a lot of you are at too great a distance, but if there’s anything you want to talk about from the websites, that’s good too.<\/p>\n
