Pretty with a Twist



I found these recently at a student art show.

Here are two pretty girls who became part of an art class assignment.

The top girl shows a regular assignment of drawing patterns. Using them to produce shadows and form as well as decoration.

The bottom girl is a study of adding interest to the subject with color.

They both are subjects well-drawn.

Pretty Faces


I normally don't do "pretty". I usually work in a bold dynamic style. But recently I've been paying more attention to pretty. What would it take to paint a pretty face like this one I found in St. John's, Newfoundland?

Remember Peter Max?


Remember Peter Max? Those iconic images of the 1960's like Lady Liberty done in pure color and reproduced in posters galore.
Well, he is still painting. And it's his color that continues to attract me to his work.
He is represented by Park West Galleries.

I'm editing this post on Sat 10/7, because when I saw it on the blog it was very obvious why I liked Peter Max's use of color. It's the same as my blog banner.
