    Third On Canvas in Naples, FL 2015


    2015 - 03.02

    Each year, artist from all around the US gather in Naples, FL for the 2 day painting event, Third on Canvas. It is held on 3rd Street South and along the paths to the beach. On the following Sunday, the paintings get put into auction to benefit The David Lawrence Center.

    This year, I was located between 12th and 13th Ave close to the concierge booth.

    On the first day, it POURED 90% of the day. I still managed to paint my first painting, “Testa Dura”.

    It is 18″ x 24″, acrylics on canvas painting of our old boat, Testa Dura, anchored on a sand bar in Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park at sunset.

    Yoga Paint Part 2 – Dancer’s Pose – Natarajasana


    2015 - 01.26

    Yoga Series Continued…

    Dancer’s Pose – Natarajasana – 12″ x 36″ x 1.5″

    This was a 6 part  yoga painting – Step 1) Gesso the canvas black – Step 2) Resin over the canvas was a black tinted resin – Step 3) Mark exactly where the pose would be painted – Step 4) Sand the area to be painted – Step 5) Apply clear gesso to sanded area – Steph 6) Paint Pose

    The painting was completed using just a palette knife. The pose has a nice thick texture that was accomplished by the use of modeling paste added to the acrylic paint.

    In the first picture, you can see that the resined black background gives a mirror effect, reflecting whatever is in front of the canvas. It has a glass-like top finish, and the pose has a non-reflective matte finish.

    The second picture shows how the reflection moves as you move, showing off the matte finish pose.

    The last picture is a detail shot of the palette knife work.

    The time has FINALLY come!!

    I am so very excited to release my newest series: The Yoga Series!

    I have been working on these since early September 2014, and I love how they turned out!

    Using only palette knives, the yoga painting series contains 3 inverted yoga poses: 1) Eka Pada Viparita Dandasana  or One-Legged Inverted Staff Pose 2) Sayanasa with scorpion variation and 3)  Handstand or Adho Mukha Vrksasana with Stag Legs variation
